o thank you very much sorry to ask but do you have the pattern for the bowl too? thank you
This is a basket design I made for a nephew/chef - the rings are thicker (1/4") so they give more glue surface and are a little tougher. Other designs can have the rings down to 1/8". Either way uses the same sized blank. Print 2 copies then put them together to make the 10" wide pattern (there are alignment marks to get them lined up). Glue to a 10"x10" blank and cut the rings. Or change the size to whatever you like.
The .DOC has the jpg but it spills over the normal page. You can right-click it in MS Word and set the size to whatever you like. The PDF is set for 10" diameter.
Cut the rings, then rotate each 1/2 ripple so they sit on one another. When you glue, use good wood glue and a bowl press or a heavy weight to squeeze the glued areas together. I usually press them upside-down so I can clean up any squeeze-out on the outside. Then after about 5 minutes take it out of the press and clean the inside. Return to the press for the set-up time of the glue (30 minutes for Titebond - I usually leave it about an hour). When done, break the sharp edges with hand sanding and finish. I usually don't use a hard finish like lacquer or varnish - I like the patina from people handling the basket. These make good bread baskets for dinner, fruit baskets, or ornamental. Or for the Easter Baskets.
