Bush Basket

[addo]

I had a fun time making my first one of these the other day. Another thing I've been meening to do for a while.

Should come in handy for wild food. If I can fill it each day, I should be eating quite well!

Very satisfying is basketry and an incredibly useful skill to develop too

That's a good practical size.

Nice project you have have finished there Addo, like that a lot.

 

[John Fenna]

Very nice indeed!
I have not seen one made in quite this way before - I make mine by starting with two hoops lashed at 90 degrees to each other to make handle and base and then fitting ribs - but dang that looks good!

Really nice basket. Hmm, another idea for me at the moot. Nice work.

Basketry is a skill I'd love to learn. Lovely work.

Blimey its hot out there today! Time to chill in the shade I think.

Thanks a lot for the comments everyone, glad you like it. Its a bit rough around the edges, but I'm definitely hooked on weaving baskets now, and there's loads of designs/materials to play with.

Cheers.
