Finally completed the trap today (Thursday 8th) and just need to test it now.
The cone was the most difficult part to construct.

Where did you take the basket making course? That sounds really interesting - I would like to learn how to make one from Cattail rushes etc...
I have my own company Mungo www.naturallore.co.uk. We only used willow on the course, but I am experimenting with other materials using the basic principles learnt on the course.
