    He used to make a scib by leaving down three sally sticks on the ground and get more light sally rods so that they would bind anyway you wanted them. He would leave down the three strong sticks and go in and out through them with the light rods until the bottom was made.
    When the bottom of it was made there would be sticks standing up so he would get more sallies to turn in the sticks that were around it until none of the sticks would be seen. The people in olden times used to weave thread and when it would be weaved they would dye it.
