A short encyclopedia entry describing how baskets are made from split hickory, oak, black ash, osier and similar rods. It covers weaving the slat base, raising the sides on sharpened rib rods, forming the brim and fitting a handle. It also describes preparing splits and splints, the hand tools used (spoke-shave, upright, knives, bodkins, drills, beater), and a basket-making machine shown in Figures 305 and 306.
