Made using all kind of date palm fronds and Olive branches.

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. 

I can cut the main branch according to your will and request, and it can also remain intact.
