Trug (Basket)

Beautiful trug basket.......probably my favourite. Steaming the wood similar to our canoe ribs. Always such an inspiration. Chi miigwetch

I've never seen trug work before. I will go do some research. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for your comment. I am glad you are inspired.

This is great, my wife has been hinting around that she would like a few things like this for work in the garden this spring and summer, even threatening to buy some commercially made hods. Thanks for posting this so I can let her know I have an idea where to begin!

Thanks for taking the time to comment and good luck with your trug making.

Lovely clip - just the sounds of the splitting wood and the drawknife. A pleasure to watch, and a beautiful and useful object at the end of it.

very nice, boy that is one sharp drawknife. I enjoy your work. Pat

Hello,
When is the best time for making baskets? or other green woodworking things
Spring or?

Thanks

For me personally I make my trugs & other woody things during the autumn & winter months. It realy depends on the circumstances.
