Shallow Bowl Basket Illusion
John Rander

Shallow Bowl Basket Illusion

This is my second basket illusion (first bowl form!). Inspired by a Panamint Indian basket from the 1870-1890’s. Note that herringbone rim was my idea; it is not typical for these baskets. Sycamore maple, shown “au naturel” (no finish). 7 ⅝” in diameter & 1 ¼” deep.
Many thanks for the helpful suggestions and comments from the basket illusion experts on this forum! I did find this piece much more challenging than the small lidded box basket illusion: despite following Harvey Meyer's video as closely as possible I did encounter vibration problems in the outer edge zone, and it may be my eyes, but I need much more light to see when the beads are completed on the inside. :rolleyes:
Yes Bill, this piece deserves something better than the wire plate holder. Incidentally I am still struggling with the herringbone rim motif.
You may want to see the bottom, so I've added a link for that (just completed and not yet signed).

I think that wire plate holder would look perfect, if you painted it black.....just a thought. Otherwise, the embellishment details look superb here...... -----odie-----
