  1. Basket makers
    My Grandfather Michael Shea, is a good basket maker, he made baskets at home for picking potatoes, and baskets for carrying messages in. He would want good strong sally switches for to make potato baskets. He would get thin switches and split some of them and work every second switch the white ones first, then the green, and brown ones, and as well as useful it would be nice to look at.
