Chip Wood Strips

Some of the baskets coming out of China are being made of this wood. It is from a tree that grows quickly and can be harvested and reforested easily. Soak the strips for a minute or so, and the wood becomes very flexible - bends and curls very well. But..., it is a bit brittle when dry. Looks like pine. We are trying this out as a new product. Let us know what you think! Should we order more?
