<p>Chrislemens: Added uses and distinctions between dry and green wood.</p> <hr /> <div>[[wikipedia:Wood|Wood]] is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic material – a natural composite of cellulose fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression. Green wood is wood that has been so recently taken from a plant that it still has some of its natural moisture (usually in the form of sap). Dry wood is wood from which the natural moisture has evaporated over time.<br /> <br /> == Uses ==<br /> <br /> === Fuel ===<br /> Wood can use used as a fuel in [[fire]]. Dry wood is better than green wood for fires. Green wood, when burned, makes more smoke.<br /> <br /> === Building Construction ===<br /> <br /> === Tools ===<br /> <br /> === Containers ===<br /> Wood can be used in making [[Basket|baskets]]. Green wood is often a better material for baskets than dry wood is.</div>

<p>Chrislemens: Typos</p> <hr /> <div>A basket is a container typically woven out of plant fibers. It usually have holes in it, but they are smaller than the objects that the basket is designed to hold.<br /> <br /> ==Uses==<br /> Baskets are primarily used for carrying or storing other objects. Some baskets are made for use as a sieve, including for trapping fish<br /> <br /> ==Materials Needed==<br /> Many types of materials base be used to make baskets. Before making a basket, you have to prepare the materials you will use for it.<br /> <br /> *'''Coiled''' basketry uses grasses, rushes, and pine needles<br /> *'''Plaiting''' basketry uses materials that are wide and braid-like: palms, yucca or New Zealand flax<br /> *'''Twining''' basketry uses materials from roots and tree bark. This is a weaving technique where two or more flexible weaving elements (&quot;weavers&quot;) cross each other as they weave through the stiffer radial spokes.<br /> *'''Wicker''' and '''Splint''' basketry uses materials like reed, cane, willow, oak, and ash.<br /> <br /> ==Production Methods==<br /> Baskets are woven by hand. The parts of a basket are the base, the side walls, and the rim. A basket may also have a lid, handle, or embellishments. Most baskets begin with the base. The static pieces of the basket are laid down first, then additional pieces are woven into them.<br /> <br /> *In a round basket, arrange pieces as spokes, where they cross in the middle. Then weave in additional pieces in a spiral pattern, starting as closely as possible to the center of the spokes, going alternately over then under then over succeeding spokes. Once you have a base the size that you want, pull upwards on the spokes as you weave under them, to bend them up into the walls.<br /> *In a square or rectangular shape, arrange pieces parallel to each other, then weave additional pieces perpendicularly to them. Once you have a base the size that you want, pull upwards along the edges and weave additional pieces through to hold them there.<br /> <br /> '''Drafting note: include information from [[wikihow:Make-Baskets|How to Make Baskets (with Pictures) - wikiHow]] and cite appropriately.'''<br /> <br /> {{wa | basket}}<br /> {{wa | basket weaving}}</div>
