Dominic Parrette deftly demonstrates how to make trugs using sweet chestnut and white willow. There are only a handful of professional trug makers working in the UK - Dominic and fellow expert Pete Marden use traditional trug making techniques here at the Hermonceux Truggery in East Sussex.

Had no Idea what a trug was now I do!
I like the look on employees faces when I ask for a trug, they think it has a sexual connotation, then I explain it's a handbasket.☺
I really enjoyed watching this video. Great to see old methods still apply. Thanks
