Pine Coiled Basket
With this pine coiled piece, I started from the agate up which was an egg shape. Also, at the top of this basket, I ended with twists. It’s a little harder to do twists than just regular coils because the twists need to be a little smaller so you can weave one through the other. After I finished this piece, I shaped it, so it would look more level, then I shellacked it.
What I Think
In my opinion pine coiling is very relaxing. It clears my mind. I would recommend pine coiling to anyone who wants a new hobby or to anyone that just wants to try it. Pine coiling is a very useful technique that should be taught in school. The only thing I dislike about the pine coiling is getting the needles ready, you have to boil them and them scrape the heads off, that part is really messy.
