Curved Coffin in Buff Willow
Made by Somerset Willow
This curved willow coffin, also known as a wicker coffin, features tapered round ends, beautifully plaited edging and natural hand-woven willow handles. It’s handmade by experienced craftsmen in Somerset.
This natural buff willow finish ranges from a dark orange hue to a chestnut-brown appearance. The colouration comes from the willow being boiled for over eight hours before being stripped ready for use. Willow is a coppice material and grows naturally from a crown; the crowns are arranged in rows which are harvested annually.
