Redneck Bootcamp: The Box & Basket Completed

So we’re winding down at Mr. Basketmaker’s Redneck Bootcamp and Ben’s box project and Trinket Basket are completed.

Oh wait. He said I forgot something in the final project shot….

I forgot his new favorite hat that I got him at our local Goodwill. He announced that it was his favorite after one of the teenage waitresses told him “Nice hat!”

He did make the Trinket Basket and was looking forward to working with Mr. Basketmaker again this year. And I heard he showed much improvement since last year.

Now of course I’m impressed with anything he creates,  including his latest basket, but his burning wood design all over his box was amazing! Check this out…

At one point I almost thought he was leaving it here with us when he said that it looked really good on Eric’s wood table in the living room. My face must have quickly lit up because before I could say anything I heard “But there’s no way I’m leaving it here. I spent too much time on it!” (Drats.)

He even worked on the inside of the box. I love his perspective work and patterned lines.

Even burning lines on the inside feet on the bottom of the box. I didn’t dare ask which was more fun the box or the basket?

No matter the answer, I hope he had a great time at this year’s Mr. Basketmaker’s Redneck Bootcamp. I cannot wait until next year!

  1. I love the amount of detail Ben put onto his box. It looks too cool! What a nice keepsake from Bootcamp ’15.
