Another Step Closer

For the next step in my basket making, I enlisted Duane's help.  He used his super sharp carving knife to taper the handle ends and put a notch in each end.

  

The tapered ends fit between the woven layers.  The notches will hold the edge finishers in place.

Here the top edge is evened out and the basket handles in place.  

Almost done.
