About New England Woodsplint Basketry |
 |
Historic woodsplint baskets
in New England were typically woven of Black ash (Fraxinus nigra), which
was sometimes referred to as brown ash. Less frequently White Oak (Quercus alba), hickory, maple, chestnut, poplar or other wood species were used. To learn more about the history and
production of hardwood splint baskets in the New England tradition I recommend
that you read these black ash basketmaking books:
