Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Dominic Parrette deftly demonstrates how to make trugs using sweet chestnut and white willow. There are only a handful of professional trug makers working in the UK - Dominic and fellow expert Pete Marden use traditional trug making techniques here at the Hermonceux Truggery in East Sussex.

Skip to 12 minutes to see wtf a trug is. Then watch it all.
When do you cut the willow and the chestnut for your raw material, in the spring or?
