That 's quite interesting Owlbow. The law suit paper gives a description of what a "hallock" should consist of:Originally Posted By: Owlbowhttp:// Supreme Court basket case
"A hallock is a type of rectangular till box with perpendicular sides and a raised bottom. It is usually made of rotary cut veneer, taken directly from spruce logs; but is sometimes made of paper or other material."
This also gave me the word veneer for what our baskets were made of.
veneer
–noun 1. a thin layer of wood or other material for facing or inlaying wood.
2. any of the thin layers of wood glued together to form plywood.
3. Building Trades. a facing of a certain material applied to a different one or to a type of construction not ordinarily associated with it, as a facing of brick applied to a frame house.
4. a superficially valuable or pleasing appearance: a cruel person with a veneer of kindliness.
Only for those baskets the veneer wasn't glued to anything, just used in its crude form. It matches the picture I gave.( its all in the basket)
P.S. strawberries are not called 'straw' for the baskets, but for the straw that is put under them to protect dry from thaw and (moderate) rain.
