Strawberry basket / Birch / EST 140604-1 エストニア/バーチ（白樺） ストロベリーバスケット
This is a small hand-woven basket made from birch wood.
Birch refers to trees in the Betula group in general, and refers to hardwood. It is often used as a material for furniture, pillars, beams and floors.
In Northern Europe and Russia, there is a tradition of using birch bark to make crafts, but here, instead of bark, thinly sliced wood from logs is used.
On this page, we will introduce a basket called a “Strawberry basket” locally.
A birch forest. According to the maker, birch trees of any age can be used to make baskets once they reach a certain length.The basketpart is made first, and then the rim is attached to finish it off.The makers are careful to weave the baskets, saying, “In order to complete a good basket, there is no room for carelessness in any of the processes.”They have continued to make baskets in many different shapes in order to meet the needs of their customers. The makers say that the most rewarding thing is when they receive the baskets and the customers are happy with them.It is made by weaving thinly sliced strips of birch in an alternating diagonal pattern.The width is changed slightly, and it is knitted in two layers. It has few knots and you can see a beautiful grain.It has a powerful appearance, as if the wood has been woven as it is, but when you touch it, the surface feels smooth. These two pieces are the same material, but you can feel the design just by looking at the difference in width.The wide rim is viewed from the outside. It is simply nailed in place.The rim is viewed from above. The thick material is firmly sandwiched to secure the weaving. It’s simple, but you don’t feel any anxiety at all.The connection between the handle and the basket is also very simple. Nails have been driven in two places.The nails on the inside of the basket are neatly folded in. Just to be sure, please be careful not to hurt your fingers or other parts of your body when touching the area.The handles are made of several pieces of thick wood that are also used for the rim, laminated together for a secure finish.The bottom is a long, rectangular shape, so it is good for storing things.Because the wood is bent to make the product, there may be some fluffing, cracking or breaking in the corners and other parts with sharp angles. Please note that this is not a defect due to the characteristics of the material.The basket is shallow and long. Easy to see what you put inside.The handle makes it easy to carry around.
You can also use it as a basket to store vegetables, root vegetables and fruit, by laying down kitchen paper or something similar. It is also useful for carrying fruit such as strawberries and cakes that you don’t want to tip over.
Birch’s texture goes very well with the colors of fruits and vegetables, and it enhances the atmosphere of whatever you put inside it.
In addition, because it is easy to take with you, use it as a basket to carry books you are reading, glasses, cream, etc. between the living room and bedroom.
For families with baby children, you can put in a set of disposable diapers, or other daily necessities such as medicines and thermometers that you use often. The color of the birch wood makes it suitable for both Tatami(Japanese floor mat) and wooden floors.
Also suitable for outdoor use, for storing tools such as scissors and gardening gloves, or as a harvest basket. It also has a handle, so you can quickly carry all your tools.
This shallow basket has a non-oppressive feel, but it has plenty of capacity. Please enjoy it in your favorite way, indoors or outdoors.
__Estonia: Making Birch Baskets__
In Estonia, baskets have been traditionally made from pine trees for over 200 years.
On the other hand, there are also baskets made from birch wood that have been given a more stylish finish by adding design elements to the traditional basket-making techniques used by their ancestors.
At this workshop, which has been in business for over 20 years, a small team of highly skilled craftspeople, centered around a single family, work together to produce high-quality baskets made from birch wood on a daily basis.
Guided by the principles of Scandinavian design – simplicity, minimalism and practicality – they continue to create new specifications and sizes that are suited to the modern age, as well as updating traditional berry baskets and mushroom baskets for the modern age.
The stable finish and its elegant, refined texture are easy to incorporate into modern living, and it can play two roles: practical and interior.
