Shallow Wood Strip Basket and Holiday Egg

Shallow chip baskets are constructed using broad, flat strips of shaved wood interwoven at right angles. This open-top design creates a stable base suited for displaying a large decorated egg resting inside the container.

History of Wood Veneer Basketry

Craftspeople produce chip baskets by peeling thin layers of veneer from harvested logs using sharp blades. These flexible wooden bands are light yet durable, making chip baskets a popular choice for carrying produce and holiday arrangements.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

What is a chip basket made from?
Chip baskets are made from thin wood ribbons called veneer, usually cut from soft trees like poplar, pine, or birch. These strips are pliable enough to weave while maintaining a firm structure.
Why are decorated eggs placed in shallow containers?
Shallow containers keep decorated eggs fully visible while supporting their weight. The low sides prevent the delicate eggshell from rolling off flat surfaces.
How are traditional wooden basket strips held together?
Interlocking weave patterns keep the strips bound under tension. Small brass tacks or wooden rim bands are often added around the top border to secure the edges.
