While many other crafts have become mechanized, no one has ever
invented a machine that can make baskets. They are still
handmade, In fact, no one has ever improved upon the
earliest and basic techniques of basket making. Basketry
can be "Coiled", using grasses and rushes ,"Plaiting"
basketry, using materials that are wide and ribbon-like, such as
palms, yucca or New Zealand flax , "Twining" basketry, using
materials from roots and tree bark. Twining actually refers to a
weaving technique where two or more flexible weaving elements
("weavers") cross each other as they weave through the stiffer
radial spokes. "Wicker" and "Splint" basketry, using reed, cane,
willow, oak, and ash .
