Johnny, I don't think there is any firm evidence of how to do it. Look at the Hoplite association website for one method. I'm making one by fitting willow wands into a bent willow frame and interweaving them, but it is just an experiment. I'm not sure I'll have it ready for the Festival. Tinker Naylor has commissioned one to be made by a basketweaver - I'll see if I can get a picture when it's done.
