Collapsible wood baskets

[Eugene Downes]

I bought 11 patterns of collapsible wood baskets from the Cherry Tree back about 1995. They are not copies, they are origionals and some are large. I do not know the laws well enough to know if I can share copies of these plans with members of this grpup or not. What I like about these baskets is that when you use a 3/4 inch board a large basket will fold up to 3/4 inch.

You can not share the patterns unless you designed them.

Very nice baskets!

Nice work Eugene.

You know the sad part about our scroll saw work is where it ends up. I was just a Goodwill and saw a collapsible basket there with a price of only a few dollars.

Thank you Karl, I to have seen these baskets at goodwill. I guess the reason they are so cheep is because they are easy to make. To cut your collapsible basket you just tilt your saw table to the left 4 to 5 degrees (for the basket only). For those of you that would like to find patterns check out this web site,,, https://www.google.com/search?q=cherry+tree+collapsable+wood+basket+patte rns&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS838US838&sxsrf=APwXEdemjReBt37 Tl59GTXxHhP8PdN4lZw%3A1685912143880&ei=T_p8ZO6qNYr O0PEP3ZSqwAo&ved=0ahUKEwiujtWTwKr_AhUKJzQIHV2KCqgQ 4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=cherry+tree+collapsable+wood+bas ket+patterns&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIHCCEQoA EQCjIHCCEQoAEQCjoICAAQogQQsAM6BQghEKsCSgQIQRgBUPoZ WO1JYJl5aAFwAHgAgAGFAYgBhAmSAQQwLjEwmAEAoAEBwAEByA EC&sclient=gws-wiz-serp I will add more pictures of my baskets. One of them I showed the bottom where I put my stamp on most all of my work.

I sold a basket yesterday at the farmers market for $65. If it ends up at Goodwill for a few bucks that’s ok because I got $65!

I have always said that once I see my work at a yard sale I will retire from the hobby. In reality I enjoyed making it, someone likes it enough to buy it, then if it moves on to a new home via a yard sale or thrift shop it is still making someone happy. What is better than that?

I feel the same way.
