Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted May 9, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 My latest Alex Fox bowl or basket. I think this is C-30. I used 1/4 Baltic Birch plywood 10" square. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. The glue up took time to get the exact placement of each ring. After sanding with a Mac Mop, coat of spray Lacquer Clear Gloss, sanding and then another coat. Comments welcome.

don watson Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Very nice indeed. I love making these baskets. I like that they can have a right or left hand twist as you build them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don watson Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 I think it looks good to have one each left and right hand at the opposite ends of a dresser or sideboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafairchild2 Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Alex has some great patterns. I am amazed that he is still producing things as he comes from Ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Joe Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Great job, Denny! Those baskets are well received. I also have made many of Alex’s baskets. I started inlaying them on the bottom after a while and doubling up the bottom disk and putting a Steve Good signature coin on the bottom. Sorry to add to your post, but thought you’d like to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I love cutting the baskets as they are rather interesting to do and they don't take a lot of wood. I cut this pattern also. Great job Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
