With just this book you can make classical-looking baskets.
I have never had so much useful instruction packed in a book with less than 50 pages. Photography by Pat O'Hara and clear illustrations with arrows point out every movement. It may take a little time to make them smooth and symmetric however even the first efforts look crafty and you just cannot bring yourself to give them away as presents. Even if you do not have time to have fun with pine this is a must for your library and a good guide if you intend to buy others' work.
