Where a wicker furniture maker can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a wicker furniture maker already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Wicker furniture makers choose and prepare materials such as softened rattan or willow branches in order to produce wicker furniture such as chairs, tables and couches. They use hand, power or machine tools to cut, bend and weave materials to create the desired objects. Finally, they treat the surface to ensure a finished look and protect it from corrosion and fire using waxes, lacquers and other coatings.
