Description

-ON BACK ORDER – PLEASE EXPECT A DELAY OF A MONTH OR MORE –

We have been flooded with orders following the Country Life feature, thank you all for your support and interest. Tony expects it to take a few weeks to get through our current orders and for all new orders to take a month or more.  We are sorry about the delay, but trug making is a slow process and can’t be sped up! As they say good things take time…

The time honoured trug of old English design. They are an indispensable tool for any gardener as well as being a strong, lightweight carry-all. Great as a picnic basket, display bowl for fruit and veges, doll’s crib or knitting basket.

The rim and handle is formed from barked Hazel or willow and the slats from aspen poplar steamed and bent to create a clinker built boat shape. Despite their light weight (approx. 700g or 1.8 lb) they are extremely strong and durable. Trugs are not treated or varnished and will develop a beautiful patina over time.

Dimensions: 28cm high 30cm wide 50cm long
