A basket made from a predetermined tree trunk having an inner wood section and an outer wood section formed by bark of said tree trunk for surrounding said inner wood section, wherein said basket comprises: a tree-made portion, which has: a top surface formed by a first cut of said tree trunk across said inner wood section and said outer wood section; a bottom surface formed by a second cut of said tree trunk across said inner wood section and said outer wood section, wherein said top surface is spacedly apart from said bottom surface; and a portion body integrally extended between said top surface and said bottom surface, and defines a cavity within said portion body, wherein a physical contour of said portion body follows a natural geometrical contour of such portion of said tree trunk between said first cut and said second cut, so that an appearance of said tree-made portion constitutes a natural appearance of said tree trunk for carrying an object within said hollow cavity, wherein said portion body further has an inner portion layer formed by said inner wood section of said tree-trunk for forming said cavity within said portion body, and an outer portion layer which is formed by said outer wood portion of said tree trunk to constitute said corresponding natural appearance of said portion body as said natural appearance of said outer wood portion of said tree trunk, wherein said tree-made portion comprises a handle integrally extended from said portion body for allowing said portion body to be carried via said handle, wherein said handle is formed by carving said tree trunk at said top surface of said tree-made portion.
