berry comb

[capt.dunc]

this years weather is producing loads of berries, so it seemed a good time to have a go at making a berry comb.

beach wood base and centre ring (same external diameter), i drilled the holes straight and a fraction larger than the side bars. the bending outwards keeps them tight in the holes.
base sitting on a pile of coins to keep the side bars even

i gave it a gentle steam over a saucepan and left it tensioned for a week before cutting the prongs to length.
ps the coin was just in to keep it neat when tying above the centre ring.
