Black Ash Basket Kits
by Eric J. Taylor
Eric makes many of his baskets that he teaches available in kit form that can be made at home. He personally makes all the materials in your kit and are “made-to-order” so lead times may be lengthy. We recommend that you email Eric with your kit request and put off paying for it until completion of your materials.

Cottage Round Swings
Because Eric was creating his own style, he needed to stay strict with his varying shapes and handles so he could solidify his own “Cottage” look. Therefore, he intentionally avoided creating round baskets which are traditionally Nantucket.
However, having developed many baskets with varying shapes and handle styles over two decades, thereby solidifying his own “Cottage Style,” it was time to make some round baskets and his own nesting set.
