Round Scuttle Basket
The Round Scuttle Basket with Handle is made from ash splints, white willow, wych elm bast details, by basket-maker Hilary Burns.
Hilary Burns MBE is one of the last professional basket makers in the UK, researching and recreating the technique of scuttle-work basketry, which entails using pieces of wood that are cleft and shaven down from ash/oak/chestnut logs and closely woven over with willow. This practice disappeared in the UK around 1930.
