Straw is an agricultural byproduct consisting of the dry stalks of cereal plants after the grain and chaff have been removed. It makes up about half of the yield of cereal crops such as barley, oats, rice, rye and wheat. It has a number of different uses, including fuel, livestock bedding and fodder, thatching and basket making.

Straw is usually gathered and stored in a straw bale, which is a bale, or bundle, of straw tightly bound with twine, wire, or string. Straw bales may be square, rectangular, or round, and can be very large, depending on the type of baler used.

• The frames are all made in our workshop, with nationally manufactured beech molding, and acid-free passe-partout.
• The frameless option presents the work prepared on foam board (to give it rigidity) and is finished off with a 25-micron plastic shrink wrap.
