Cutting loya cane
Splitting cane into thin strips
Stripping leaves from a palm frond
Wrapping leaves with cane strips
Coiling leaf bundle
Wrap strips around bundle about two times, then thread strip through previous coil to keep it together
Add new leaves onto the end of the last coil to make it longer and wrap with strips
Now instead of making the base wider, start making the sides go up vertically
Whole fronds can be used now
Coil basket complete
Now for a woven cane basket
Arrange canes into a star shape
Note there needs to be an odd number of spokes
Tie the spokes together (here using a strip of bark)
Using a long strip of cane start weaving over and under the spokes
When the base is wide as you want fold the canes up vertically
Now weave a long strip between the spokes, in and out like before
If you run out of one strip just start weaving another in, after a few laps it will stay in
When finished fold the top of the spokes back into the previous coils
Cane basket complete
