' ;
natural
fibers
; This
basket
is
made
of
quinet
, the
husk
from the
flower
of
coconut
palm
tree
. The
coconut
tree
grows
in
large
numbers
on
large
plantations
, and
can
grow
up
to
30-35
meters
high
.
It
has
long
green
leaves
that
turn
brown
after
some
time
. The
coconut
husk
has
many
purposes
in the
Philippines
.
It
can
be
used
to
make
a
hat
or
basket
.
You
can
use
the
first
quarter
of the
whole
coconut
husk
as a
brush
to
polish
the
floor
. This was a
very
common
way
of
keeping
the
floor
clean
and
shiny
,
especially
in
wooden
houses
with
wooden
floors
. This
is
done
by
putting
the
piece
of
coconut
under
your
feet
and then
just
moving
back
and
forth
. The
dry
broom
can
be
used
to
sweep
the
yard
.
Additionally
, if there
is
no
kerosene
you
can
use
quinet
to
light
a
fire
, as
it
is
highly
inflammable
.
