Hand-Made Basket by Doug Lockwood

Hand-Made Basket by Doug Lockwood

The handle is a tree branch with an interesting & comfortable shape. The basket is reed. This is a large basket (perfect as a basket to hold cut flowers) It's 20" long by 10" wide. The bottom is rectangular but the sides are rounded. This is a true work of art! Own or give a truly special handmade item. 

Doug lives in East Boothbay. He 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!"

You can make a beautiful gift basket with this basket, but you'll probably have difficulty giving it away.
