what is a good core material for waxed linen basketry techniques?

I am trying to teach myself waxed linen techniques in basketmaking. If anyone knows a good technique book that’d be great! I’m not sure what kind of core material would work best to make substantial vessels.

i don’t make baskets but maybe you could do a search on the web, look at diy website or try hgtv.com. hope this helps!
