Discover The Secrets To Making The Most, Eye Catching, Stunning and Sought After Wicker Baskets In The World!

From The Desk Of: Anthony Macqueen

Dear Friend,

Since you've found this website I suppose it's ok to let you know... "I'm a bakset making addict." The truth is, I'm always on the internet looking for the best, stamp collecting secrets and methods. That's what led me to put this website up. Let me explain ...

While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention... In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing that at first I thought it was "too good to be true" like most things are.

You see, a few months ago, I was doing some research on Mary White one of the most well-known and respected stamp collectors in recent history. I noticed that most of her work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work,‘How To Make Baskets’

Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper. I started to send off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately every road I seemed to head down was a dead end... until a couple of weeks ago that is ...

By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters... as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book - it was right under my damn nose. After numerous emails I finally got him to mail me his copy. for more than I’d like to tell my wife about – if you know what I mean.

To My Utmost Surprise I Uncovered One Of The Most Important Stamp Collecting Manuscripts Of All Time....

This blew me away: because it was so hard to find, but now I had it.

First published in 1916 after Mary White spent years twisting and turning natures materials learning how to make the perfect basket.

In the 15 chapters here's just a snippet of what you'll learn;

You will not believe how much difference following these techniques will make to newly made basket.

  1. How to use rattan... you will learn how to use rattan and why it is so popular.
  2. The proper tools...these are integral to making baskets, if you miss out on one of these, you'll never make a single basket.
  3. You must soak your rattan... not doing this will have you pulling your hair out when trying to weave this natural fiber.
  4. How to make a knotted work bag... discover how to make a bag with knots all through it, discover how to use a stick in this process.
  5. Learn how to make...rings, fasteners and other little pieces needed to complete your basket.
  6. How to make covers....this has to be done a certain way, get it wrong and you'll have wasted hours in trying to weave your cover.
  7. Seven easy steps to making a cane chair...in these easy to follow steps, you'll be guided in how to make robust, fashionable chairs.
  8. Learn some Indian stitches... learn how to use spokes in this exercise to create a masterpiece in no-time-at-all.
  9. Learn how to put the finishing touches on your basket, so as to make it individual.

And there’s loads more

At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on a copy...

Well here's the good news.

After doing even more research (I told you I was a basket making addict) I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Mary White's complete work on this website.

Because basket making is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to do something completely unheard of these days. I’m going to let you have this amazing manuscript for nothing.

It’s FREE... Yes 100% FREE

Now you have no excuse for not creating the most amazing baskets with a simple to follow system.
