But here's new life to my old basket using Vegetable Oil & paint brush At Minktoberfest I ask Jim 'Moon' Van Steenberg, maker of Ishman Pack Baskets, what to put on new or used pack baskets to re-new & keep them from drying out. His answer- Vegetable Oil Here's my Clint Ishman Pack Basket, Moon's grandpa made. I did the inside as well.
