Learn to create your own creel basket in this hands-on workshop.
While this beautifully crafted basket is designed for fishing enthusiasts, it’s equally perfect for picnics, gathering fresh vegetables from the garden, or collecting treasures while foraging in the woods.
Each basket is approximately 13"W x 8"H x 8"D and features a thoughtfully designed lid, custom-cut to fit securely. The lid is attached with a durable piano hinge for smooth and reliable functionality. Whether you’re an angler, a nature lover, or someone who appreciates fine craftsmanship, this basket is a delightful and functional addition to your collection.
