    Maple and walnut basket

    The design was inspired by a US Woodturner, Tom Kenyon.

    It stands about 6" high and is about the same at its largest diameter.

    I welcome your critiques.

    Very interesting take on open segmentation.

    Very nice. I hop to be able to do something like that.
    When working I had more money than time. In retirement I have more time than money. Love the time, miss the money.

    Thanks again, everyone for your kind comments.

    Steve: This one was not as tedious as others that I've done, thanks to it being only 12 segments to a ring and only 16 rings.
