Making a basket

Saturday, June 23, 2018

I came across a really old dobro that has not been treated well. 

Its a “grandtone” from the mid ‘30s. One of those with a paper cone.

its pretty much in need of being taken apart and pot back together which I’m going to attempt. 

I want to make a basket for it, there isn’t one now, and no evidence of one or posts. I have to take the top and back off. The back is in several pieces and there’s a piece of plywood glued to it. 

It looks like the body is birch.

what kind of wood bends well? I’m looking at a couple layers bent around a form..
