Thanks everyone.this basket is 13 1/4 x 8 1/2 x 7 high.
The wood with holes , and we do several , are a little like playing russian roulette. You hit a hole just right in the weaver and your done.

That's amazing. I've got a couple piece of wood I'd like to try that with. Where can I learn how to ?

we got patterns around 15 years ago. The guy that had them is now deceased. Don't think they've been available for several years now

My wife & my Mom both collect Longaberger baskets. My wife got started thru my Mom's collecting them.
But, neither of them own a basket like that. Definitely unique and well made.

:good2:

Thanks Herb,
We have had many Longaberger Collectors stop at our booth at the shows. Nearly all of them have to purchase at least one. Couple years ago a lady spent couple hours looking at all we had on display. She eventually picked several. When she had paid she said "I have to admit I'm a Longaberger dealer and I have to tell you these baskets are amazing".We love to hear this.
