About

Using wood purchased from Makoto Imai, a master of Japanese woodworking recently profiled in The Seattle Times (read it here), you’ll cut the end pieces with a bandsaw, and use a bandsaw or handsaw to cut strips for the basket bottom and sides to the desired length. You’ll then bend the copper handle, cut the copper connector plate, and clench copper nails to hold the parts together.
