Description
Natural Buff Willow Wicker Divided Log Kindling Basket made from full buff willow wicker. The basket is divided into two sections, one large one for storing logs, and a smaller section for storing kindling. The sections have a natural fabric lining, stitched in around the top. Linings in Log Baskets is quite a new idea, but brilliant, although a little dust may get through, all those little twigs and wood splinters won’t. This Natural Willow Wicker Divided Log Kindling Storage Basket has two decorative rows of rope around the top and bottom of the basket, the top row forming handles on the two short sides. This is a very big basket, which would make great storage for shoes in the larger section, and umbrellas and walking sticks in the smaller one. This basket is also available in grey wash willow wicker.
Our range of Log Baskets is expanding as we prepare for the open fire or woodburner season. Click here to see the baskets in stock.
Material
Willow baskets are very versatile. These are much hardier than many other natural materials, and can be used outside as they will survive in all weathers. Usually a stronger weave, they are very sturdy and solid. Grown in fields and by river banks as willow, the branches are stripped of their outer layer and usually treated before weaving. The end product is well suited to carrying weight although the baskets themselves are lightweight. Buff Willow is cropped mainly in November, but sometimes not until December. It is the most popular and is obtained by boiling the willows to release the natural colourant tannin from the bark into the wood. The bark is then stripped from the willow revealing the characteristic golden colour.
Our baskets are handcrafted from natural products, please allow 5% tolerance on all measurements
