Title: Wicker Log Baskets
Post by: Linda on November 01, 2011, 14:15:53 PM: Does anyone know where there are any large wicker baskets made/for sale? It would need to be strong enough to hold logs ....

Can deliver to Calis Prom or anywhere between Gunlukbasu and Calis prom.
Send me a PM if you would like it.
I would be pleased if you would make a small donation to Animal Ais, but it is not a prerequisite!

Post by: pookie on November 05, 2011, 08:33:43 AM: a chap sits at the bottom of the Uzumlu Hill ( almost as you get into Gunlukbashi) making them. He sells them at the front of his house. Quite reasonable if you barter with him.
