Title: New Vine Basket!
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on February 18, 2013, 11:38:38 pm
Made up a new Vine basket tonight.  Not sure what kind of vine, not green brier, not grape, not posion ivy >:D    not virginia creeper, not passion flower.....just some vine!   the main sticks..whatever they are called, are made from gallberry.  there must be 30 yards of vine in there!  a lot of over and under!   bout 8 1/2 wide and 3 1/2 deep

That's so cool looking!  Did you do anything to the vines before you started weaving or you just pull them up and start weaving?

thats a nice little basket.
now you got me curious as to what vines they are made from. always hard to tell from a pic,
blackberry runners look sorta like those thinner ones....or maybe honeysuckle? not buck brush runners....

Great job Ryan! You got me wondering if I could do this with some vines in my woods. I think that basket would look really cool filled with some of your points :)

thanks guys.   these vines are not any sort of fruiting vine. They just creep around the back yard. they may very well be invasive as I haven't seen them anywhere before. no thorns and they don't even get those little squiggly arms like a green brier or grapevine does....just a thin smooth vine

Kudzu hasn't invaded down there yet, has it?
