Handmade Willow Harvest Basket in Gold and Green

Harvest basket for gathering veg in your garden or allotment, or just carrying your bits and bobs around. It is strong, very light, and also versatile, I use mine for all sorts of things (like carrying all my used mugs back in from the workshop!). This is the same as the 'Scottish Willow Harvest Basket', and as the 'Handlamde Scottish Willow Harvest Basket - SWW Label', but woven with a mixture of golden coloured 'buff' English Willow and Scottish and /or English willows with the bark on. The golden (‘buff’) willow highlights the bluey green (‘brown’) willow on the sides and base. ‘Buff’ willow is willow that has been bolied then stripped of its bark, the tannins from the bark setting into the inner wood creating the golden colour. Strong handle which the sides are actually woven into. Made with a traditional underfoot base (you hold it in place with your feet whilst weaving), which is super strong. Made using buff willow from Somerset and barked willow from my patch in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. As item is made to order, it takes approximately 16 weeks to fulfil. 46 x 33cm (18" x 13"), 25cm with handles (10")
