Project Information
This was done on the scroll saw, using a concentric ring construction for the basket weave. The boards were laminated strips of oak and walnut to get the striped look. The top rim and base were cut from the same piece of oak. the whole basket was cut from 3/8 inch stock. the cutting was finicky, but not difficult. The real challenge, taking about three days, was the gluing, making sure that all the pieces lined up and were centered from each other so that the basket would not appear wobbly and lopsided. all together, a satisfying result. dimensions are, about 10 inches high x 11 inches wide. Only weighs about a kilo (lots of spaces in between).Finished with spray shellac
