Wicker baskets have history! Rediscovering the reassurance of thousands of years BC, these baskets were woven from pliable and fibrous plant materials including oak, ash, willow, cane and reed. Typically whether solid or reed woven base was laid down first, then, the vertical staves were added as a support frame. The circumference, or sides, of the basket were then woven in a over-under pattern to complete the basket. Different weave placements or materials could possibly be used to create different patterns or finishes. A lid or handle could then be included if desired.
