Woodcraft 101: You can do Basket Illusion wood turning

Thank you to Woodcraft for sponsoring this video.

I visit the Woodcraft store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to learn how to apply a Basket Illusion. This is a great technique that can be applied too many different shapes. Get your illusion on!

I've been watching YouTube videos and having my own video channel quite a few years. Of all the videos I have kept to watch over and over again, you sweetie are the top 5% of the ones I've kept. You treat people with respect, I still go back and watch the weaving episode from PBS. Stay kind, stay respectful, we really appreciate it.✍

Fascinating. I love the way Eric connects with each craftsman. He respects everyone and gains their trust. Each artist/craftsperson then opens up their creation secrets and shares their joy. As humans, we ARE that we might have joy. A Craftsman’s Legacy opens up many avenues to joy.

A very detailed and somewhat complicated process, but very worth the beautiful outcome! The basket weave design is stunning!! Thanks for sharing this Eric! Will you be making any to sell in the future?? Hope you and Buddy have a great weekend!! God bless!!

One thing you must realize, you better have patience or you won't be able to do this work.For me, it relaxes me, so i can do this for hours on end.

I have always wondered how this was done. Where can I get the layout circles?

[davidshaper]

Am I correct that you know/calculate the number of beaded rings as part of the layout? Do you use different beading tools of various widths?

[kylewo]

Can you please tell me what size mm those pens are?

Faber-Castell?
Superfine(S)-.3mm?
Is the larger one a B?

[annette]

Wow, that's amazing!! I've never seen anything like this! Great video and instructions. It's a challenging project and looks like a lot of fun to make. Are you going to try this sometime?

[ander]

Do you have a source for the India ink pens he uses?

[RABWOODSHOPSTUDIO]

What finish do you apply at the end? Any ?

Very good video. I have been doing basket illusion turnings for about 2 years. It's a lot of fun. If you want to see another very talented basket illusion turner, check out Karl Hansen (Gibbsartwood on Instagram). Super cool patterns and designs.
