The rich Indian heritage has always been associated with wonderful art and craft work. Home for skilled labor for manufacturing bamboo, rattan (and wicker) furniture, India does boast off handicraft export as a significant contributor to GDP. Besides this, the handicraft sector's economic importance lies in its high employment potential, low capital investment, high value addition and continuously increasing demand both in the domestic and overseas markets. As per some reports, this sector provides employment to more than 6 million craft persons, mostly from rural areas.

The skill has been passed on from one generation to another and their are many communities today who are involved in it's trade. Most of the rattan trade is in the unorganized sector where highly skilled artisans design furniture for the so-called elite class.

Here an artisan is seen placing some of his work in a pyramid fashion to attract customers. It can be called a poor man's chair.

I'm in the back front and Scott is behind me. I don't know who the two are in front. This was taken Labor Day early 1960's. The "Lone Pine" motel was built by Grandpa Kenison but he didn't own it at the time. We are in the Rodeo Grounds.
