each side of the balloon. The shape of the balloon can be improvised and will ultimately depend upon the sanding equipment you use. We have found that a 120 grit sanding disc on a drill press works well.

Sand the sides so that they are smooth and even. To bevel the edges of the balloon, start by rounding the balloon from the bottom to the top, then bevel the sides down from the center to

Finishing touches

When the glue has dried, lightly draw the basket in place with a pencil, then either wood burn or paint it on. Erase all pencil marks when finished.

Stain the larger piece of 1/4" birch plywood with Dark Walnut stain. Once dry, center the picture on the board, then glue and clamp it in place.
