This basket is made from Irish Elm (rings) and Iroko (legs and base). It has a diameter of 12" and is finished in oil and natural beeswax.
It's an enlarged version of a Roy King design.
As somebody has said that is one elegant piece Phil . In the short time I was scrolling I would never have dreamed that pieces like that could be made on a scroll saw . It just goes to show that the longer you live the more you learn .
I loved Elm when I was turning and it still holds its beauty when used for scrolling .
Looking at this again this morning and it's putting me off my project for today. It's a similar style from Steve Good, but from 6mm BB ply. Maybe it'll be OK as long as the wife doesn't see the pic's of Phil's.
