Each piece is a one-of-a-kind handmade original. Even when I make a second piece with the same construction, they are never quite alike. Especially, the wooden elements have all the variety that nature provides.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe wood is all found wood, generally\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etrees that have fallen in storms. I use\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emany different species of wood and my\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecurrent body of work will have whatever\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etrees I have found most recently. Once I\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehave turned the wooden elements, I leave\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethem indoors for at least three weeks to\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecure and stabilize. Then I do a final sanding and finish each piece with pure tung oil.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI then attach rattan spokes to the wood and construct the basket, weaving in the colors and patterns as I go. When completed, I finish the entire piece with tung oil to bring out the colors and produce a slightly aged patina to the work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerry Maxey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48505742721279,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0419\/3075\/2150\/files\/RoseGene_s.jpg?v=1778528152","url":"https:\/\/lucyclarkgallery.com\/products\/blue-fez-oak-mixed-media-basketry-copy","provider":"Lucy Clark Gallery and Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
