Willow Stakes: Soaked and Pointed Osiers (Hasluck, 1903)
Basket stakes as the basket-maker prepares them: osiers dried for months, soaked in a trough until pliable, cut to length at about half the thickness of the bottom sticks, and pointed with two slanting cuts so they drive into the woven bottom.
Fresh green osiers are never used.
