Watch Trug Making
Watch a modern South Down trug being made in this WoodlandsTV video clip. The Cuckmere Trug Company also make the famous Royal Sussex Traditional Trug from sweet chestnut and cricket bat willow, as well as many other types of trug.

Trugs are still made using Chestnut for the frames and handles. The boards are made from willow. The use of plywood seems rather a shame when the natural materials are available
I’m a bit surprised at Woodlands TV for making this video as most of their videos show real traditional crafts using natural materials not ply.
