["Aaron (Ike) Yakim (b. 1949, Charleroi, PA) and Cynthia W. Taylor (b. 1950, Virginia) are traditional white oak basket makers living in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Yakim learned the art form in the late 70s from 5th generation West Virginia basket maker, Oral \"Nick\" Nicholson of Doddridge County. Yakim and Taylor, who work from live tree-to-basket, are not regularly making baskets currently due to the intense labor required as well as the scarcity of suitable white oak trees. Yakim has produced over 2,500 baskets, several of which are included in the Smithsonian Museum of American Arts collection.
