Members Storm Posted July 19, 2008 Members Report Posted July 19, 2008 Hi Bruce, Just wanted to say thanks for the tutorial on the basket weave on a curve. Just finished using it on a sunvisor I am making. Altough the further out from the center you go you do get to a point where it almost comes apart. In my case made it by the skin of my teeth. LOL! Thanx again. It sure did the trick. Storm Quote Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
Moderator bruce johnson Posted July 19, 2008 Author Moderator Report Posted July 19, 2008 Storm, Really glad to be able to reply to you. Really glad. Now if you do start to get gaps, I will use a flat bladed screwdriver tip to bridge the gap between the legs. I have also done some with with a set of different size baskets with the same center pattern. I started off in the center with the smallest, and as I worked to the outside, I went to the next size up as I got close to gapping. I got a whole rope can done (15" diameter") and made it work. I had to add some "centers" as I got bigger, but it was fun challenge.

Jimmy McLaughlin Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 Hi Bruce, Great tip, do you normally do the both borders first? Jim Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted September 6, 2017 Author Moderator Report Posted September 6, 2017 Jimmy, Yes I do If I am doing that rope border. For most other border stamps, I'd cut and bevel the lines and border stamp last.
