A local Sussex custom is the craft of truggery which is basically a basket made from willow. Although the end result looks like a basket in shape, the use of the willow gives a more round shape and the great difference is that there is no lattice work involved. See http://www.craftmaker.co.uk/thetruggery/ for more details.
