Woodturning – A Segmented Basket For My Perfect Easter Egg

Cherry Walnut Basket

This is best viewed right here on this page. But, in case of difficulty, it may also be viewed on YouTube and FaceBook.

After turning a batch of Easter eggs, I need a basket to hold them. But not an ordinary wood bowl. Instead, one that looks like a basket. For this I need a segmented build up of cherry and walnut.

Build includes:

-Three rings of cherry with twelve segments per ring and twelve small pieces of walnut between each cherry segment.
-Two rings of walnut sliced thin to match the walnut between the cherry.
-Two rings of walnut for the top ring.
-One ring of walnut to fill between the base and the bottom of the wall. (more on this in the video)
-One piece of 3 ply cherry DIY for the base.

Totaling 99 segments or slices.

This basket is finished with walnut oil and measures about seven inches in diameter and three inches in height.

I am really ready for spring with my basket and eggs.

Enjoy!
