Baskets

We all make stuff other than pipes, so here's a place where "anything goes" as far as showing off some of your projects and other hobbies.

Baskets

Post by wooda2008 »

Sweetgrass baskets are taking up more of my time since the lathe is dead.
I'm in year 2 of a 3 year apprenticeship with a master Abenaki basketmaker who's a cousin. Keeping the family tradition going and all that jazz.
