Adirondack Baskets The Adirondack basket, or "Split" basket as it is sometimes called, has been around for many decades. In the 19th and 20th centuries the Iroquoian-Mohawk and the Algonquin Native Americans perfected the making of these Black ash baskets to use in their everyday life. These baskets were made not only for themselves, but also for the "city sportsmen", the loggers and hunters. The basket's hard shape made it a favorite among trappers being easy to load and unload traps and pelts. We are pleased to continue the tradition by offering this line of beautiful and practical baskets. Our baskets are made in the traditional method, unlike the majority of baskets made today, which use imported reed. They are made of Black Ash, soaked in water and hand pounded to loosen a layer of annual growth. Ten foot wooden strips are formed and woven to create the baskets. At the top opening is a bent wooden ash handle. A 100% cotton shoulder harness is provided to carry the basket on your back. An Adirondack resident has been making these quality baskets for over twenty-five years. Each basket is lovingly made, signed and dated by the maker.
