"Star Basket #2"


This basket was designed by George Smith. I made it with 1/2" rings, stained it and put lacquer on it for the shine. It is called "Star
Basket #2" because it has a different shaped star effect to it then star basket #1.

I made this basket from Oak wood, it's rings our 1/2" thick.
The "Star" basket was designed by George Smith, and handcrafted
by myself (Russell Craig). It was stained and sprayed with lacquer,
for the shine.

I made this basket from a pattern from Steve Good.
