Product Details

This is my own design basket made as a smaller and more affordable alternative to the traditional Sussex Trug.


Made in the same manner as a traditional Sussex Trug with English Willow from J S Wrights and Sons, the world’s largest and oldest established company supplying English cricket bat willow, with copper nails and brass screws but with Birch, and Welsh Hazel which I coppice myself.


Such a versatile trug basket, they can hold all your fruits, vegetables and herbs from your allotment or kitchen garden, and your gloves and tools!


Also beautiful as a gift hamper; imagine receiving it at Christmas filled with fresh, local, seasonal goods.


The basket is approx. 48cm long x 25cm wide x 30cm tall (to top of handle). The basket depth in the middle is approx. 10cm.


As this item is made from natural materials, each basket will differ in colour and grain pattern.

Sustainable

Sustainability is really important to me and key to my work.  It is the reason I started Cottage Coppicing in the beginning.  (You can find out more about that here).  All the wood used in my work is from either local sustainable sources or FSC certified businesses.


Round wood such as hazel, ash, and cherry I coppice  myself in Ladyhill Wood,  a woodland I manage voluntarily as a restoration project for my local authority. I also occasionally buy in branch wood from local tree surgeons from small garden jobs.


The ash and oak timber I use is mainly from my local timber yard Wentwood Timber Centre, and any American white oak or beech I use is from FSC certified Mon Timber Supplies.

Handmade

I handmake every item available in the shop in my workshop in Newport, South Wales. From design through to sourcing raw materials to finishing each item and packing and shipping.  (Except where specified).  If made from Hazel, I even coppiced it in the woodland I manage locally.


I will periodically showcase other makers work in the 'Guest Maker' section.


Personalised gifts are laser engraved by a fantastic local business, Bespoke Laser UK.
