    The rods are cut and left up to season. When they are seasoned a green scraw is got and the rods are got and stuck around in the scraw the shape of a creel. Then the thin rods are woven in and out until the sides are finished. Then it is taken up off the scraw and the rods are turned down and woven in and out until it is finished. Then they put an irrish [?] in it with rods.
