Leylandii bark basket

(1/4) > >>

Lucasade:
I was cutting a branch off a leylandii today and being spring a bit of the bark pulled off as the branch fell down. So on a whim I pulled a load more off and had a go at some basketry. I'm quite pleased with it for a first attempt ever and without any instructions, though I can see plenty of places to get better. It will do nicely to put my wife's Easter egg in though. I've just located a huge heap of felled birch that has been left by the road where it was cut so I think I'll get some more materials and keep practicing!

Pat B:
Nice basket. Why don't you try a quiver next?   :OK

Lucasade:
It's on the list, but I should probably make some arrows to go in it first. And finish a bow to shoot them from too...  :BB

Pat B:
While you are waiting to make some arrows and finish a bow you could make the quiver.  ;D

bjrogg:
Very nice Easter basket
