Not for sale but I couldn't resist showing you a new line of baskets. These are based on pieces of cherry given to me by a friend. Another friend cut them and sliced the walnuts for me and another friend woodburned the leaves and acorns. I love the collaborative effort! The last picture is two more bases waiting to be baskets. Stay tuned to see how they turn out.
Here they are finished!!
