This project plan appeared in Woodworker's Journal Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 30. May/Jun 1994. Watch as a flat board becomes a vessel to carry fruit or other small items!
The trick here is that a spiral is cut into the board with a band saw: the blade
is at an angle, so the wood just telescopes out and forms a basket when you
hold onto the sides and let the middle drop. By laminating contrasting stock,
you can enhance the visual effect. The plan includes full-size patterns and
detailed, illustrated instructions.
Approx: 6-1/2" x 13"
