Walnut Basket

A while back I went to a pottery workshop with my wife on how to add reed & cane handles on pottery. I took a wooden bowl I had turned and sealed. It came out OK. I have had the idea to try again for a while and this is the result of my first attempt on my own. Nothing special, mostly just an experiment to see if I remembered enough to get it to work. There are several things I can do differently next time. I think this has tremendous potential. Black Walnut about 12” long x 8” wide with natural edge and finished with Bush Oil and buffed a little. Let me know what you think.

Looks good from here. So tell me how you turn the handle..

I like it. Very creative and I agree that it has good potential.

Very cool, Don. I'll be looking forward to seeing the directions you take the idea.

That is very interesting! Way to think out of the box.

I wonder how a deeper bowl would look with a Shaker style handle?

Very cool and interesting Don.
