Pine Needle Baskets

With the pine cone top and the beads around the edge this is a very nice little basket.  It is tightly woven and very stiff.  

There are no stains, broken stitches or other damage.

I can see no damage anywhere

Here we are looking into the basket and looking at the bottom of the lid.  This lid does not have the extra weaving that would hold it in place. In fact, since it's varnished and stiff, the lid tends to slide off when you carry it.

It's very attractive and would good on the right person desk.

The wood piece, like you see in this picture, are available in hobby shops.  They make getting started with the weaving easier.
