We are having our annual contest at our club. It is due for the February meeting. The person that won last year gets to pick, he picked a lamp. I thought I would try a basket illusion. This is the base. I am going to do a flower pattern. I added a basket weave around the bottom to make it look more finished. The base is around 10”.

A slightly different technique for making what I call basketbowls. The first two pics are from a 5-ring Ringmaster bowl and the last two are from a 7-ring Ringmaster bowl. It's no fun doing them all the same all the time! Sorry about the dust. Thanx for looking.

I like the shape but I think I can do better by using less of the logs diameter and making the piece a little longer. I think that will give the piece a flatter more pleasing look. Anyway, used wipe on gloss poly for this one. I'm getting better at making the walls thinner, too. Safe turning and stay well

Safe turning and stay well

Here is my latest basket illusion piece. It is a 14½ inch diameter Navajo style wedding basket. The wood is maple that has been beaded and then woodburning pens were used to create the woven basket illusion. Copic ink pens were used to color the pattern which is the classic Navajo wedding basket design.
