{"product_id":"oak-swill-star-bauble","title":"Oak swill Star Decoration","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThese Oak Swill Star Baubles are made by Simon Cooper, The Bumbling Basketeer, at his workshop in Scotland, near Perth, from remnants of oak swill basket making. By purchasing these baubles, you're directly supporting the continuation of swill basket making - a critically endangered craft with only a small handful of makers left who can produce these traditional baskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eEach star is crafted from the leftover strips of coppiced oak from Simon's basket work, ensuring nothing goes to waste. The stars come threaded on varying colours - red, black, yellow, or green - and each one is beautifully unique. Some are fatter, some are thinner, some more symmetrical than others - this is the joy of handmade. No two are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThese baubles make a wonderful addition to your home, and they also make thoughtful gifts for those who appreciate traditional crafts and sustainable making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eMaking swill baskets is a long and laborious process, involving splitting wood along the grain, cleaving, dressing, and weaving each piece by hand. These star baubles are born from that same careful work, giving new life to every precious scrap of oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eIf you'd like a particular style or thread colour, please get in touch and we'll try our best to accommodate your request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eMaterials: Coppiced oak offcuts, nylon thread\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eDimensions: Small approximately 12-15 cms across, medium approximately 19-23 cms across\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon Cooper, The Bumbling Basketeer","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53910129738051,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53910129770819,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0229\/7923\/files\/Photoroom_001_20251202_162013.jpg?v=1764692547","url":"https:\/\/btfjhp-bv.myshopify.com\/products\/oak-swill-star-bauble","provider":"The Haud","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
