  2. Old Crafts

    Share Share Post
    Long ago a man named Michael McGarry lived in my district, he was about seventy two years, he lived in Cloonmacduff, about a quarter of a mile from my home. His hobby all the time was basket making, he got a lot of rods, and twisted them in and out between each other.
    He mad a certain kind of basket for which he had to boil the rods, he would sell them to the people around the place, he also made creels, and turf baskets.
    He had a little place in the wood beside his house, where he used to make the baskets and creels. He is dead now.
