My.late husband made a lovely small rectangular Nantucket basket for me. The small screw with white cover has come off. Where can I buy replacements for my basket. Sarah Jackson

I’m looking for mammoth plugs for baskets
So sorry Anne, but I don’t know what a “mammoth plug” is or how it’s used in basketry. Are they used in Nantucket basketry perhaps? Have you checked with all the basket suppliers on my Cane and Basket Supplies Directory™? Surely, someone in the business of selling supplies would know what they are and be a source for the product. Good luck, hope you find them and be sure to reply back here and let me know what they are. I’d appreciate the education!
