Penobscot Splint Gauges
\nc. 1880-1930<\/p>\n

Basketmakers use hand held splint gauges to divide basket material into pieces ranging from
\n1\/32\u201d to 3\/4\u201d widths. Gauges are made with a wooden handle and clock springs were set at regular
\nintervals to split the strips of basket material. Early gauges were elaborately decorated with chip
\ncarving and relief carved designs. Later gauges tend to be plainer with little or no ornamentation.<\/p>\n

Basket Blocks or Molds
\nc. 1900<\/p>\n

To ensure uniform shapes and sizes, especially for fancy baskets, basketmakers attached their
\nbasket start to blocks or molds. They continued to weave up the basket sides while their work was
\nattached to the block. The piece was removed from the block to finish the rim. Forms represented
\nhere were used to make sewing baskets, tatting baskets, curly bowls, shoppers, and handkerchief
\nbaskets.<\/p>\n
