Pack Basket Workshop, Day 2

We had a great day working on pack baskets yesterday.  Usually I have people gather the materials with which to carve their skids from the surrounding woods.  But due to the deep snow and difficulty of getting around without snowshoes, I made these before the course started.  It saved a lot of time, and the baskets were nearly done last night.  Today we’ll be tightening up the weave, putting on the rims, and attaching the straps.  The baskets being made are as good as any we’ve made in past workshops – these folks are doing an amazing job.

Anything that appears to be an error in spelling or grammar is actually the author’s clever use of the vernacular, and as such is not an error, but rather a carefully placed literary device demonstrating prodigious artistic prowess.
