The polyurethane finishing will be done outside of the workshop. The mold size and basket will be between 3 and 4 inches in diameter with a solid cherry or walnut base and rim.

This is a one-day workshop whick require weaving for 3 to 5 hours to complete the basket. The basket weaving material is cane and reed. The reed is approximately ¼” flat ovel and the cane is 2.25mm to 2.50mm in width. The weaving material is thin and light weight. It’s easy to weave and “pack” using a pushing tool.
