One side note the basket is lined with varnished cambric, this cloth is hard to work
with but gives a nice glow.
This is why I added the rattan ribs on the side as to keep the cloth in place.
Plus this material will not rot/tear like paper can.
But then this is part of the reason I shellac my lights for these lights are mostly paper and rattan or bamboo and all of those things rot or even mold.
I used to use this stuff during my days on the High Voltage crew at OSU.
