Oak Hoop Melon Basket
This is a very sweet little project, and has several every day uses. This is a beautiful 8" X 8" X 10" medium sized basket woven with 1/4" reeds. It is finished off with half round reed. It is perfect for dinner rolls, grapes, apples, and, well melons ! I made a little fabric lining for mine, and use it as a catch all in the sewing room, but your imagination is the limit for this sweet basket. You will love the fact that you made it yourself, you'll go from not ever having weaved a thing, to making a basket in 3 1/2 hours ! After completion, the basket will be dipped in a black walnut stain for preservation, beauty and durability. This basket is sturdy with a myriad of uses.
