Title: Grapevine Basket
Post by: Dingleberry on August 19, 2009, 11:31:52 am

Made this grapevine basket last week.  Cut most of the vine with a rhyolite blade.  I think I will use it to gather some clay for pottery. later

Nice looking basket Jonathan. Think I may have found some clay, I'll let you know how it looks when I get to dig a little.

Thanks,  It really wasn't that hard to do, once you get the form started.

Sounds good on the clay Alan.  I may have found a source too.  I'll keep you posted if its good.

Nice Jonathan. I have rhyolite, but I only have muskidine vines. I may have to climb a tree and get me some vines. :o. A 350 lb man is not ment to climb a tree.

Very nice basket!  Pictures good, too.  Virginia creeper / creeping myrtle vines make nice baskets too.  Lotsa myrtle out here in Dakota Territory, not near enough grape vines..

Honeysuckle vine works well for baskets too but I believe you have to boil it first.

Oh, and Jonathan, grapevine baskets cut with stone flakes are so cliche. I want to see one made from poison ivy vines cut with your teeth....;D ;D
