I made this for my daughter’s wedding gift. It has a plywood base and rawhide lining on all the other sides to add stiffness. It can hold a nice picnic for 2 with a bottle of wine.

Love your bike picnic basket. Do you sell them? Cost?
Hi Katherine, for now at least, this will be a one of a kind item. I’m so busy with my “day job” that I can’t imagine where I’d find the time for another. Thanks for the nice feedback! Art
That is fantastic. Like Katherine, I saw the picture on the web and thought how much I’d love to have one. If you ever do find the time to recreate…you’d have a market. Excellent work, and fantastic blog. It’s been a joy to read.
Hi Chris, Thanks for the kind words. Check back and feel free to bug me now and then. Maybe I’ll find the time to do another.
so beautiful and awesome!! please be in touch if you ever do start making them I’d looooove to buy one!
Thanks for the nice words. I’ll let you know if more of these ever emerge from the shop. Art
Amazing!! Definitely something I would by immediately. Please let me know if you intend to make some other piece.
Excellent job!
Thanks for the kind words, Gioacchino. Stay well! Art
