Basketry the Nantucket Tradition by John Mcguire

A complete how-to manual for one of the best-known baskets in the world. Nantucket baskets - with their nesting sizes, wooden bottoms, cane weavers and bail handles - are immediately recognisable and universally admired. In this book, a leading authority on basketmaking shows how to make all the classic Nantucket baskets. More than 200 colour photographs lead you through each basket cane by cane, and a colour gallery of exquisitely fashioned baskets suggest just why they are worth the trouble. Maritime folk craft from New England, closely echoing the historic seafaring craft traditions of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales; Features a fine photo-essay about the New England island of Nantucket, with its colourful history of sailors and fishermen with nothing to do for months on end but make baskets that have become classics for collectors and weavers alike.
