I bought this basket at a yard sale and it is hard to fathom how it was
made. Could be some production thing from asia.
It is simply oak sections about a half inch by 2 inch all glued together
in a geometric shape about the size of a bowling ball. I searched all
over the web for this, found nothing, then the other day talked to my
sister and she has one just like it.
Any ideas about origin or who akes them?
Thanks

Just thought I would ask if any of the regs heer had seen one before.

Maybe posting a picture would help - you can't post directly to this
newsgroup, but alt.bin.pictures.woodworking or a link to a photo site
like Yahoo photos would work.

Theres a whole range of planters and baskets made as you describe.

They are often glued or stapled together . Commercial items are often
of China origin.
