This time of year we have a little extra time to experiment. A "rustic trough" has been an idea I have wanted to try for a while. Peggy came back from a walk in the woods a few days ago with some sections of curved grape vine to use as a handle so I built a mold to fit the handle. We will play with this idea until we get the finished product up to our standards. Considering the amount of grapevine growing on our property we should have handles to experiment with for some time!
