Picnic Basket, Fruit & Flowers Basket, Home table Decor, Gift, Basket art, made of Palm Stems

Round shaped or full belly, this wonderful handmade an 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, that 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.

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.
