bespoke storage baskets
Made to measure storage solutions for your home using locally sourced Somerset willow in a variety of different natural colours and textures.
There are three main types of willow I use for storage baskets all sourced locally or UK only :
Brown willow is willow with its bark on and comes in a variety of different colours from dark brown to yellow/green with many different names to include - Flanders Red , Brittany Green, Black Maul , Dicky Meadows and many more.
Buff Willow is willow that has been boiled for several hours then stripped of its bark - this is the most common willow used in basketmaking which combines strength and longevity . When combined with brown willow makes contemporary and unique baskets.
White willow is willow is ‘pitted’ in winter ( left standing in water until the sap rises in spring) The willow is then stripped of its bark without boiling.
The majority of storage baskets I make are designed to fit in / under something and require a higher level of basketmaking than other types of baskets.
It is important to establish accurate measurements at the beginning of the process.
I welcome your enquiry and offer a no obligation quote option usually valid for 12 weeks.
Please ask for details.
(Please note i am unable to offer a refund on bespoke baskets therefore it is vital to ensure i have the correct measurements and willow requirements.)
