Richard Silliboy Pack Basket

The basket includes heart wood (dark) and sap wood (light) in a very pleasing pattern across all sides. Nylon straps are adjustable
The basket is similar to pack baskets that were made for commercial outlets and catalogs through the 1950s and even 1960s until cloth and nylon frame baskets came into vogue.
