Just awsome! greetings from new zealand!

[@betsysoutherland6069]

Are you weaving the willow when it is green?

[@BigGreenArt]

It's not green as in freshly cut, but green coloured bark on dried rods , soaked in water

[@dannyp9845]

I have an odd request, could you make a tutorial on how to weave a rabbit hide (dome with an opening/tunnel)?

[@BigGreenArt]

Still not sure what that is?

[@agreatalternative]

Interesting as always 👍
Is there a specific variety of willow you recommend for making baskets like this?

[@BigGreenArt]

Nothing specific, we used salix purpurea, but any rods should do.

[@agreatalternative]

@@BigGreenArt Ok great thanks.

Going to catch naught with the gaps lol

[@georgeferguson9779]

How do you get the lobster out?

[@BigGreenArt]

Ha! Design fault! I've seen them with detachable lids, that makes more sense now. Well spotted!

According to a fisherman friend the lobster backs in to the pot, and you take it out tail first.
