Really beautifully made baskets? I’m so impressed!😊

I've really learned a lot. I'm just a beginer only a million or two hits. I'm lucky enough to have access to black ash. The borers are just starting here so i'm sawing out billets as fast as I can and sinking them in my pond for further processing later. Also building a power hammer , probably like Erics basketrys. He says his pounder does 300 strikes per minute and does a billet in about ten minutes= 3000 strikes. Im currently pound by hand and doing a layer or two per evening ( half hour to 45 minutes). I'm no mathmagician but I think i'm going to need a power hammer. Thanks for these videos. I've watched everything on the subject and yours are by far the most comprehensive.

Draw Knife - bevel up or down?- EDIT - just saw later in the vid, you are making the handle taper and notch, and you go bevel down. Can you describe the differences between bevel up and bevel down?

I have enjoyed your ash basket series. Apologies if you mentioned and I missed it, but where do you get your wood? Also, can beech be used for baskets? We have property with an abundance of beech!
