Dear Diary,A day in the life of Basket Making

 

I am a basket  maker in the colonial life,if you would like to be a basket maker like me you would need to know that colonists like need a lot of baskets because we don’t have any cans,plastic bags,or cardboard boxes.So you will have a lot of responsibility duty.You will have to cut logs into long strips called splints,then soak them so they would turn soft and bendable,then use a mallet to flatten them.After that you’ll have to separate the layers of wood with a large knife and change the tightness,wave,size,depending how the basket would be used,but you as the worker you’ll have to have nimble fingures.You should know that a lot of people make baskets at their own mobile homes.
