Modern Appalachian Baskets

These one-of-a-kind baskets are each painstakingly made by hand in the Appalachian tradition. Each basket begins with a native white oak tree, sustainably harvested from my land, which I then carefully split—using only an axe and knife—to create thin, pliable strips. These strips become the frames for the baskets. The strength and durability of white oak, crafted in an ancient style with updated forms, allows these baskets to last for generations, even with generous use.
