Alex Fox Baskets

[MrsN]

Alex Fox @alexfox has come up with a few cool basket plans recently and I decided to cut 2 of them.

I used 1/2" cherry for both baskets. Since Alex's plans called for 1/4" I only cut every other ring. From making other baskets I know that too many rings makes a funny looking bowl. Anyway, the fewer rings does loose some of the spiral effect, but I still like it.

They are easier than they look, give it a try. I had a student once who used a basket as their very first project. None of the lines were smooth, but it did stack up to be a basket.

I have seen the cutting you have done, I think you can make it work. 

 

Also, Thanks for the compliments everybody!

Great job on both Katie.  Have cut a few baskets over the years and they are fun to cut and always a big hit.

looks great Katie. I sure understand making them 1/2". If I went 1/4" I would have glue all over.
