Those baskets look great as all your others have Denny.  Clearly, you are on a basket kick right now.  Do you find that they are selling in the shop?  Time to replace that valentine candy in them and put in Easter candy. ☺️

Thanks Melanie. I ordered 4 pieces of 1/4" x 10" x 24" of hardwood four the baskets.  I wanted to make the baskets before the material starts to cup.  None sold as of yet.  Tootsie Rolls maybe.

Like to see them in hardwood.  Great job on them.  You have to work fast if you want to use the wood before it cups.  I had a piece of oak 1/4" cup, I straightened it as the directions said.  Started sawing "The Last Supper" in it and it cupped again.  I straightened I again ( I had only started so not far along), started sawing again, and it cupped again..... Not sure what to do with it now.

Thanks Paul.  So far so good.  Possibly eight bowls, but not sure after cupping.

Very nice job Denny. Could a guy stack cut two at a time? I have never made a basket. Isn't it hard not to get glue all over?

Thanks Dave.  Not sure about stack cutting.  In some areas it is less than 1/8".  As for glue up, I use a drop of glue at the points of contact.  There still is a small amount of squeeze out which I clean up before it dries.
