Swirl Basket

Cut from Pine, Red Cedar and Poplar.  This basket is 8in. in diameter.  Finished with several coats of clear shellac.  The disk in the center is a slice of a 1 ½ in. poplar dowel.

Roly these baskets are cut with no angle at all.  All the basket is is a series of concentric rings that are glued together.  If you took it apart you would have a disk 8in in diameter with a bunch of cut rings that range from 8in to  approx. 4 1/2 in. in diameter.  They are fun to make and people often wonder how it was made or if it was one of those collapsing ones.

Kevin it looked a bit like the British Flag ( Union Jack ) with a dot in the center.
