Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted March 19, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I saw this in his email last week and thought I would make one. I enlarged the pattern by 15% to make the basket just under 6" square and 2 1/2" high. The sides are 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and the top and bottom are Mahogany. I used FD Polar #5 blades as I stack cut 4 pieces. Finished with spray Shellac. Getting each layer lined up when gluing was the hardest part. Comments welcome. spotsdad, frankorona, Old Joe and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Precision alignment is what you are now good at!!! This is a gotta have at a craft show !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Came out very nice. Very easy to get aligned and keep aligned if you make a jig. All it would be is 2 pieces of wood at a 90 degrees to each other. Now lay your pieces in the corner and they should all line up if you cutting is good. I would glue that group up first and then add the top and bottom. Easier that way because of the various curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidAlien Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Just now, Denny Knappen said: I didn't use any stains, just spray Shellac. Show pictures when finished. I cut my top and bottom pieces out of the same BB ply that the weave was cut from. I'll probably just keep them natural and rattlecan varnish them, and stain the top and bottom pieces a dark walnut. I'll post the finish pics in the Monthly Challenge thread, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
