using the 100 grit sandpaper and soften or chamfer the edges. This gives a neater appearance on the finished basket.

Finish the base and handle as desired. Place the handle on top of the base in the desired position and lightly mark the outer edges of the handle with a pencil. Make a mark approximately 3/8" in from the previous mark and then bore and countersink a pilot hole to attach the handle. Bore a pilot hole in the bottom center of the handle as well, then attach the handle to the base with the screws.

Finishing

Stain or paint the side pieces of the basket (painting instructions follow). When the pieces are thoroughly dry, glue them to the base. Glue the pieces to the fences first, allow to dry, then glue the fences to the bottom of the base. Be fairly generous with the wood glue.

Cut the pattern pieces

Transfer the patterns for the fence, cardinals, and holly (found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 1) to the 1/8" Baltic birch and cut six of each piece. Remember, if you are making the painted version, only cut the outside edges of the pieces.

Cut the base and handle of the basket out of the 1/2" stock. Lightly sand the basket base. Sand the handle

instructions

And now a word from our designer There are two options for making the Cardinal and Holly Basket. One is to make a stained version and include intricate internal cuts to show detail. The other is to make a painted version of the basket. In this instance, you will only cut along the perimeter of the pieces and then transfer the internal painting lines with graphite paper.
