These baskets are strong small, medium & large round log skeps. They are the traditional size and shape of the half, one, and one-and-a-half bushel farm baskets. This style was once used in agriculture when they used baskets to measure vegetables, grain, seeds and animal feeds in bushels. It's a good design for using as a log basket. This style is woven with peeled buff and natural light brown-green willows.
