Easter basket

I wasnt really sure what I wanted this project to be until I saw Chris Browns planter box earlier this week. It reminded me of an Easter basket.
With that bit of inspiration, I ripped some really thin strips of poplar with the idea that I would bent-laminate a long curved handle. As I started playing around with those strips, it occurred to me that I could weave them.
I Googled "basket weaving" and discovered it looked far more tedious a process than anything I really wanted to try. Sort of reminds me of knitting, which baffles me.

So eventually I decided to weave some of the strips and give the project a hint of "basket". Sort of a faux basket. Sometimes projects evolve on their own.
