First Antler Basket
For having ZERO experience in weaving a ribbed basket, I don't think I did too bad. I'd really like to take a ribbed class now. It would help me greatly. There are several mistakes on this basket but the best thing about deer antler baskets is that they hide the mistakes very, very well.
This has a maple stain on it. I really like the richness of a maple stain. The pictures really don't do it justice, but it's all I've got!

I can see me weaving a lot more of these. They are more a decorative basket than a useful basket. This has a nice oak stain on it. With the lighter colored antler, the oak shows up nicely.

Wow! Congratulations on finishing those antler baskets girlfriend! They look terrific and I hope you've been bitten by the bug now.
I have over 15 antler basket patterns for you to choose from on my website if you'd care to do some of my style.

Most are for the intermediate to advanced weaver, but you should be able to handle them now, even after doing only two. Great job!
Here's my blog, too:

You did a great job! I am always wanted to learn how to basket weave.
Wow, it came out great!!! My favorite is still the pineapple basket you made me :)
Those baskets are amazing! I can't see any mistakes. Doing a ribbed basket for me is fun to do once in a while. I haven't made one in ages, so perhaps I should do that again. Also, I really like how you've taken your basket photos with a black background. I may start doing that because it really shows off your baskets nicely.
Blessings,

These are great baskets! I have a pile of antlers I want to make into baskets. You've inspired me!
I'll make a video of it (www.youtube.nancytoday.com)when I finally do it!
