Doug explains: "I have been weaving baskets for over thirty years. I actually took a basket weaving class in adult Ed. in Searsport where I was the elementary principal. About the third basket I started weaving, I took off like a rocket. I began creating my own designs and continue in that vein. I have sold baskets at mostly school craft fairs. Recently Eventide purchased about a dozen to sell mostly as gift baskets where you end up with a basket worth saving! I’m the only basket weaver I know who makes an eight pointed star basket."
