Nate's Lightship Collection©
The lightship baskets are an
extension of Nate's Gold Collection©. All their parts are made
of New England Ash , as were many of the original early baskets woven
on the lightships where the tradition started. The earliest
Nantuckets, those made on the lightship and those made on the Island
in the period preceding WWII were made with wooden staves. The
use of cane staves became popular after the lightship era in the
island baskets. Nate's Lightship Collection© is all made with
wooden staves, handles, rims and bases, giving them and authenticity
offered by no other kit maker. Nate's traditional wooden rims
make a much more ridged basket than the commonly used reed rims of
today. Using these wooden rims Nate gets a much more delicate
look and yet a stronger basket. Nate's wooden staves for these
basket kits come already tapered, edges beveled and sanded to
perfection. Because of the technique used in cutting them from
the tree these staves bend easily with just warm water and remove the
difficulties normally associated with wooden staved Nantuckets.
