Basket Star

[Denny Knappen]

This is a pattern Steve Good posted several weeks ago. I like making baskets, so I thought I would give this a try. I modified the pattern slightly by adding a 1/2" Hard Maple base. I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood. It is 8" in diameter at the widest part and 4" high. I used FD UR #1 blades and finished with spray Polyurethane Clear Satin. Comments welcome.

Thanks RJ.  Easy cutting.  Sanding and glue up took some time.

That came out great. I was going to try making that but I guess I changed my mind.

Not a difficult project Ralph.  Give it a try.  One change that was suggested, make the top lip from solid hardwood.
