Apprechiate the clear concise instructions. Thank you! Have always admired your work😊 Have you posted more rim demonstrations ? Could not find them.

More to come! I'm trying to get back on track with recording and editing videos. I'll be adding more in the not too distant future I hope. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so very much for this excellent video!! I've been searching and searching for how to finish the rim on twined baskets. Wonderful!!

[@MsRaventree]

Thank you Cael. I have been making my waxed linen baskets for a while now but wanted to up the quality with a good top finish and yay there you are. I am into all your guidance now. I love youtube.

Love your work and your directions are excellent

Thank you. Love your work.

I never thought to do it to the inside like the third demo. Cool idea!

[@CaelChappell]

I’m glad you liked that. It helps to lock in the fibers better and I think it looks better too! I’ll be posting more tricks like that and more specific techniques in future videos now that I finished these videos.

Thank you for these excellent videos! I found your work in the Fall 2020 Issue of Fiberartnow - just spectacular!

[@CaelChappell]

Thank you so much for following along. I was honored to have my work selected for those international juried exhibits in Fiber Art Now! I'm getting some more videos done now, which should answer more questions. Thank you again!

Thank you for making these videos Cael. I am interested in finishing rims when the material is not waxed and will not stick to itself or its neighbour.

Hi Ralph! When the fibers are slick the rims are more difficult. Like that wire bowl I sold at Haystack, remember that? It was so slick. So difficult to twine at all. Basically for that type of material, rims for reed baskets or willow baskets work better. Rims where the spokes weave in and out more than these simple ones I showed. Sometimes I use those types of rims for the waxed fiber too, I plan to show some in future videos.
