Weaving Materials
Bamboo, Paper Fiber Materials, Wood Splints, Black Ash Splint, Copper Strips, Flat Wire
Bamboo
Bamboo is used extensively throughout Asia for weaving baskets. It is very sturdy, but does not have quite the flexible properties of rattan.
Usually, needs to be packaged separately from other items ordered, so an additional shipping charge will apply.
