In a time, when industry is willing to sacrifice quality for profits, some traditions never die.  Basket making, perfected by the Shakers, is a craft which continues to this day.  To appreciate the beauty of ash baskets it's important to understand the process from which one can start with a tree and turn it into something that is the epitome of perfection. 

A Shaker at heart, I look to carry on this basket making tradition using the techniques similar to that of the Shakers.  It's all about keeping history alive ...  making baskets that will survive the true test of time ...

So experience a piece of History ... see how these basket are made ... from the tree to the basket.  My baskets are hand made, here  in New Hampshire (not in China).   So please check out my on-line basket catalog and partake in the Black Ash Shaker Basket experience.  Ash baskets are truly one of a kind and will make a great addition to your home, a gift for a friend or a family heirloom that will last for years to come.  Enjoy!!
