Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted February 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted February 12, 2019 A pattern by Alex Fox. He lists this one as C15. I modified the pattern by increasing it by 25% and not cutting the bottom ring, but leaving it attached to the next to the last ring making the ring less fragile. I used 1/4" solid Walnut approximately 10 inches square. The holes drill with #68 bit and cut with FD UR #1 blade. The finish is spray Polyurethane Clear Satin. Comments welcome. scrollntole, Foxfold, GPscroller and 9 others 12 Quote

I purchased a piece of each Walnut, Cherry, Hard Maple and Mahogany. Each is 1/4" x 10" x 24", so more baskets to make. Quote

rdatelle Posted February 13, 2019 Report Posted February 13, 2019 Another nice basket Denny. You didn't have any trouble using the #1 blade. I'm always afraid thinking it's to fragile to use. Quote

Totally agree with Denny Knappen, I think FD UR #1 is the best blade for such project, I also use it. PS Just added new bowl pattern (C53-bowl) Edited February 13, 2019 by alexfox Quote
