There is something called reed spline on eBay and it's not cheap. The colour is right, though. I can try send them a pic of my twigs and ask if they know what that is.
This website tells what everything is, sadly no links to where to buy the raw material
http://wickerworks.weebly.com/cane-raw-materials.htmlI think wicker is too hard to be the sticks material.
Jan is there any way you could ask where the schools gets the material?
They should know the name too.
That round rattan reed in the photo seems just like it, Tielfan, only these I got are much thinner. But It has to be the same plant family!
Barbara... I've asked around our local schools, they don't do this now..
but its called cane basket work...
Very few schools do it now... its all computers...
By what I can understand from an old guy its was called basket cane.. hope this helps some...
