I thought for sure I would find some noob down here criticizing her knife techniques, not understanding what the paring knife method is. Lol
How lovely! We came across willow basket making as a clue in a crossword, and we curious about it.
Sadly true.
What a lovely lady and video.
I also wish it was more detailed to make a basket along with you.
Starting from scratch, and work your way up while making the basket as you go along.Simple and easy to do.You can use bamboo , or flax from a bush.
Yeah, progress! 😛
Over 14,000 years, and we still make them. I dreamed of this, once, long ago. It was a mighty, and revolutionary craft. And it's practical to this day. Your demeanor and skill make this a true joy to watch. Blessings!!!
