Basket Maker ????

[Chopper]

I want a fairly robust basket 16"h x 17"w x 6"d, made and I am having real problems finding someone to do it.

Does anyone know of a maker ??

Search on ebay and ask the sellers they made willow baskets for my wedding a few years back. I found them really helpful and only had to wait a couple of weeks for them to make and deliver them.

Good luck

association of basketmaker's is an excellent' organisation, there will be a member near you and perhaps a traditional Kent specialty.
