- Long ago basket making and "cleeve"-making were very common. They used to cut long willow rods and peel off the bark of them. Then they used to stick four of them in a square in the ground and then weave other rods in it. They used to take it up then and put the bottom in it. These were called cleeves. There is a man named Micke Mullen in the mountain who still makes them.
