Popular Post Frank Pellow Posted May 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Tammi201 drew my attention to the Steve Good pattern for this basket in the thread: that she posted yesterday. I immediately made my version of the basket using Figured Maple for the sides and Walnut for the top and bottom. As Tammi said in her thread this is surprisingly easy to make. The only difficult part, for me. was gluing everything together. Jronn65, Old Joe, Karl S and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I told Tammi that these woven basket patterns got me into scrolling and as you found out, they are rather easy to cut and great decorations for the house. Good job on yours. Try some more, there are many patterns on the internet. Steve Good has several Dick heppnerguy Tammi201 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I just love this pattern from Steve as I used to make as the hostess gift till I ran out of friends. I also made with one extra layer and a thicker top and bottom and divided the interior to make a pencil holder. Used cheap pine and was a great gift.

The place I buy my wood is still closed due to the stay home order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone can use a pencil holder. This is beautiful. The grain in the wood makes it look like fabric. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwine Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Both Tammi and Frank, you have cut the same basket and with great finishes using stain and natural woods! Very nicely done! I have cut different styles of the basket patterns from Steve and as stated very easy to do! With that said at one craft show I had some of them displayed and one customer was looking at one and ask how I bent the wood in order to put the dowels in! I presided to explain to him that they were cut using a scroll saw and the "dowel" is just part of the basket weave! The person still maintained that I had in some way bent the wood and inserted the dowel! I never did convince him that each weave is cut using a scroll saw! I now leave one of the weaves just a hair off center to show a customer that it is indeed one piece, "dowel" and weave!

Erv I experienced the same problem explaining this to my daughter after I gave her the box. For quite a while, she insisted that the basket had been woven. On the other hand, my grandson (her son) knew immediately what I had done even before I explained the "trick". amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Very well done. I made one using Baltic Birch plywood. The plywood layers gave a dramatic look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
