About Us

Tom Delaney is the craftsman behind Ould Crafty. He is carrying on a tradition of basket making his grandfather David Delaney started a long time ago. He mostly makes traditional style baskets and focuses on making them as strong and as durable as possible. All of the products shown are made from locally sourced willow. Hopefully there is one here that you might like
