Nantucket Lightship Baskets will last many generations. The baskets made in the U.S. by competent  basket makers are far superior to the ones coming out of China. You literally get what you pay for.

We make our Nantucket staves from kiln dried wood, The staves come in  50 & 100 foot packs. The stave material is 2 foot long & 1/16th of an inch thick. All of the staves must be soaked before use. Unlike frozen green staves there is no special storage requirements.

If you want to make a sturdy long lasting Nantucket Basket you will want to use a wood stave. Many of the original Nantucket Baskets were made of Oak, Ash & Hickory.

If you would like a sample send a SAS envelope. Please be sure to specify what wood type you would like. Samples are 6 inch pieces.

Nantucket Baskets are fun to make and when you are done you will have a basket that you can pass down. If you have any questions about making Nantucket Baskets or our Nantucket basket supplies please contact us.  

Other widths and wood types are available. We can make the thickness of the stave material as thin as 25 thousandths. These items would be special order and are non-refundable. Contact us for a quote and delivery time.
