Welcome.
Greetings from the Karl Family, where Kristine Karl has been making baskets in the Buffalo Run Valley since 1976.
Our baskets are of the traditional design and quality found in the hardwood baskets of rural America in the late 1800's. Each basket is still made by hand to be strong and functional, yet attractive.
The finest native hardwoods and natural water-based stains are combined with skilled craftsmanship to ensure that each finished basket is one you will be as proud to own as we are to make.
Truly a family business, your heirloom product will be created by Kris, her mother Louise, her daughter Ann, and son-in-law Rick Poorbaugh. In the tradition of early american craft, it is with great pride that we offer Karl Family Baskets - handmade by our family to be handed down through yours.
