Making a woven basket from sweet chestnut bark

Making a woven basket from sweet chestnut bark


Last weekend we ran our Bark Containers course and so I recorded some footage to show what goes into making a woven basket from sweet chestnut bark.  The process is relatively straightforward – fell a sweet chestnut stem and cut it into manageable lengths; scrape off the outer bark; cut into strips; weave into a basket!

You can see loads of photos of people making baskets from sweet chestnut bark on our Facebook page.
