The Blackdown is a wicker basket coffin woven with the highest quality buff and steamed willow.
The main body of the Blackdown is woven with buff willow. Dark brown steamed willow is used for the banding and the plait border on the lid edge. The plait, handles and/or bands can be woven in buff, steamed, antique buff or white willow. Hand dyed coloured willow can also be incorporated into a design.
Black Down is a ‘Traditional’ shape.
