Cherry Basket
« on: May 09, 2013, 11:40:43 pm »
This basket is for the June 1 handmade market in Lancaster Ohio. It is 10" diameter, 4" tall, finished with Howard's Butcher Block Conditioner. It's cut from a piece of 3/4+" cherry scrapped out by our local cabinet shop - nice color and grain. I'm trying to finish 2 items per day through May to have for sale.

My niece tells me I need some smaller baskets that will fit a Liberty Candle (need to figure out what that is) but this one should make a nice bread basket for a big family dinner.

Any idea of a reasonable price to set on it?

Another nice job E.   I love working with cherry wood.  I would probably sell this basket for $40 - $45.00.  Good luck and let us know how you did at the show!

Excellent job on that one.  As for price I am not sure what the market there will support but I agree that it should be about $35 - $45 you can always lower it if need be.  Thanks for sharing that nice basket with us.
