  1. Basket-Making

    Share Share Post
    Long ago, and at the present time, people make baskets out of sally rods. First the rods are cut. Then they are cleaned, peeled and pointed. Then they make a hoop out of a few. Then rods are twisted together.
    Then they are plaited together and twisted and a basket is made. They can make baskets for potatoes, eggs, and for carrying butter to town to sell it.
    Some men have a trade of making all sorts of baskets for different purposes. They sell the baskets at different prices and that is how they earn their money.
