This red oak hamper was made from cut off boards from the firewood pile at a local lumberyard. We have been using it for years. It is made from slats which were run through the jointer at a tangent angle so there was a flat surface to glue along the entire edge. They were air nailed and glued on top and bottom to the frames. I used pegboard in the back for ventilation. It is finished with polyurethane satin.
It is 22”x12.5”x25”

That is probably the best looking hamper I have seen. One made of woven slats looked good, but yours looks a lot better. I may have to try and “copy” it.
