Bean Pot Basket

Big enough to hold a small kettle of beans.

8" diameter twined bottom. Wire handle.
Material used: #2 round reed to twine bottom. 3/8" reed for spokes. 3/16 flat over for lashing of the rim. Rim: 1/2" flat.
 Dyed - chemical dye - black walnut

This is a quick and easy basket to make. It can also have a closed notched wooden handle instead of the wire handle.
