A wider-width flat-oval reed well-suited for substantial basket rims, this 5/8" flat-oval reed brings both structure and a smooth, finished look to your basket-making projects. 

Cut from the inner core of the rattan vine, each one-pound coil yields approximately 60 feet of reed — a solid supply for finishing basket edges and other weaving work.

• Natural rattan construction:
  Made from the core of the rattan vine, this reed is sturdy and flexible, holding its shape cleanly as it dries — a dependable choice for structured basket forms that need to keep their definition.
  
  
• Distinctive flat-oval profile:
  Flat on one side and rounded on the other, this reed delivers a smooth, polished exterior finish — especially well-suited for rims and ribbed basket frames.
  
  
• A substantial wider-width option:
  At 5/8", this is one of the wider flat-oval sizes available, making it a natural choice for larger baskets, creating sturdy rims, and used as structural pieces.
  
  
• Varies in thickness:
  As a natural rattan material, individual pieces may vary slightly in thickness — an inherent quality of the vine that gives handwoven baskets their authentic, handcrafted character.
  
  
• Ready to soak and weave:
  Soak in water for 5 minutes before use to soften the reed and make it easy to bend and shape without cracking or splitting.
  
  
• Accepts stain and dye:
  Takes color evenly, giving you the flexibility to personalize your finished baskets in any shade.

Whether you're constructing a large market basket or a statement decorative piece, this 5/8" flat-oval reed is a practical and polished addition to your basketry supplies.
