Alex Fox Modified C01 Basket

[Denny Knappen]

An Alex Fox modified pattern. I used 1/4" solid Walnut 8" square. Rather than cutting 12 rings, I cut 7 rings leaving a wider base. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. After sanding and dipping in diluted Shellac, two coats spray Lacquer Clear Gloss and sanding between coats. Comments welcome.

Agree and great idea of reducing the rings.

good idea , keep a bigger base to show off black walnut grain.

You will be interested to know - I decided to continue creating bowl patterns. I have already cut new one, gluing now. I will add it to Etsy when the video of making will be ready, in a day.
