Arts & Crafts Waste Basket

Another nice one! Good job.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

I’ve been wanting to make up a waste basket but could not find one I liked. Plus I can see that this wood be a great gift as well. Thanks for sharing your design.
What is the size of the basket? It appears to have straight side or are they angled a bit?

-- Dominic, Trinity, Florida...Lets be safe out there.

I’m with Dominic – I need to make one of these – great inspiration!, nicely done!

-- The Gnarly Wood Shoppe

Nice job, nice touch with the shavings too.

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

This is a very nice piece. I am sure that you wife appreciates far more than if you had simply bought her something for Christmas (unless you were also considering a pair of diamond earrings).

How did you finish it?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Certainly better than plastic! This has got STYLE! Its really nice looking. Makes me want to through trash at it thought …....half kidding ;)

The bow was for Christmas made with plane shavings…...................

Nice job. What did you use for the bottom? I have seen these around and want to build one, so it is on my list.

Very nice, and a nice addition to a room of great stuff. Really nice with the A&C lamp.
And as I am wrapping challenged, the plane curlings are a great touch I’ll be lifting. Thanks!

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

The bottom is walnut as well.
There is a cleat inside about an inch from the floor that it is attached to.

Very clever with the bow. Nice work.

Thanks everyone….........
