    Bottleneck Basket

    Here's one I finally finished. I had no way to burn the beads on the inside of the neck until a friend made some tips that I was able to bend to fit. Made from silver maple. Measures 7-1/2" dia. by 7" tall. Comments and/or criticism is always welcome.008.JPG011.jpg013.jpg

    I wish I could find something to critique but I can't.

    Very well done Sir!

    Sorry I missed this, Mike. I used a D-way 1/8" beading tool. For the rim I use a home made tool.
    Thanks to everyone who commented. I appreciate it.
