 Round shaped or full belly, this wonderful handmade and unpretentious woven basket is perfect for a family outing or picnic. Stay natural in nature and take your fruit with you  in this simply magnificent basket. Gather wildflowers and set them on display in the basket. This well-proportioned basket is fun to use and beautiful to look at. The baskets are made using all natural date palm fronds grown in Israel on local plantations. Palms are a natural and renewable resource, being cut every so often, then treated by me in order to be ready for use in basketry.

Handmade by Basketweaver David Grushko.

I make functional baskets from my workshop in a village north of Jerusalem. I never use prefabricated materials. I gather palm fronds, treat them, let them sit and then weave a beautiful piece for the perfect home.

The basket is made from the finest natural materials. The palm tree branches grow in Israel in the Jordan Valley. I collect them in the autumn, I treat the fronds and keep them dry and warm for 6 months before I start to weave the branches into a functional piece of art.
