Shaker Basket
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Dennis ChilcoteChilcote’s inspiration for this basket (4 in. dia. by 3-1/2 in. tall) comes from the simplicity and elegance of Shaker furniture and basketry. He learned how to harvest and splint the black ash from Martha Wetherbee’s article “Making a Basket From a Tree” (FWW #20). The bottom is woven over a lathe-turned mold, and the turned bird’s-eye maple lid (finished with linseed oil) snaps into place against the inner rim of the basket.
