This bowl is intended to look like a basket. I used opposite colors than Carole Rothman did due to availability of material. I bought a large piece of hard maple on eBay and ripped it into 7/8 to make the bulk of the blank. She had walnut for the7/8 and maple for the 3/8 so I switched colors and used mahogany for the contrast. I had a lot of problems in the angle matchup and entry holes as the drill bit wanted to flex in the thick material. It made for a lot of extra sanding but I did finaly manage to get it finished. I wasn't sure at many times in the process that I would be succesful. But I am pretty much happy with the finished product.

Are you getting a commission on the number of Carole Rothman books sold? I have been watching this series and this bowl convinced me. It will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing your skills and motivation.

[@twinoakstreasures9032]

Thank you. Yes, if you use the link in the description I get (I think) 4.5%. My concern is that when you see the book you will see how badly I am botching these projects. Seriously, it is an excellent book and is stretching my abilities. I have seen some of these bowls in magazines years ago and never thought I could even attempt them.

Very nicely done. I like it. In fact you've given me an idea to try on a bowl/basket. I'd like to be able to correspond with you offline. Is there a way?
