Cedar Box

This is my very first cedar basket from a basket workshop I took with master Duwamish weaver Mary Lou Slaughter. Mary Lou is a fantastic teacher and with her great humor made the workshop as fun as it was instructive. I look forward to future workshops with her.

Card Weaving

My first card-weaving (aka tablet weaving) projects. All three projects...diagonal double turn, double-faced, and threaded-in card/tablet weaving that dates back to the 11th century

Fish Trap Basket

Progress on my fish trap basket working with Hawaiian woodworker, weaponmaker, Kapa toolmaker, and weaver Solomon Apio
