Curved Rustic Trug

Tutor; Mary Melling website

This simple rectangular basket is made a bit like a mini hurdle by weaving round upright sticks held in a screw block (vice). The base is then bent into shape and secured with end borders and finished with a twisted handle. It makes an attractive fruit or flower basket.
