Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted February 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share 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.

rdatelle Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with Denny Knappen, I think FD UR #1 is the best blade for such project, I also use it.
