<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9925100, member: 8267"]I have seen shellac coatings on Teneriffe style pine needle baskets, and I suspect it has been used since the 19th century. But I have not seen coiled pine needles done over a bottle before. It is particularly nice how the weaver has aligned the fascicles/caps of the needles to form the swirling vertical lines. More often the fascicles are removed for a smoother surface, as was done on the bottom of the bottle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
