This Basket is made from white pine wood which I harvested and sawed into lumber. I then sanded it to perfection before assembly. Each box is unique to itself and at times there will be natural characteristics in the wood itself, which is from knots that were in the tree itself. There could also be little tracks in the wood which came from little worms that burrowed in the raw lumber. Sometimes the wood has streaks of of darker brown, blue and black also. I used nuts and bolts to attach the handle so that the handle could be detached for shipping to save on shipping costs. So the buyer will have some assembly. It measures approximately 14"L x 9 1/2"W x 17 1/2"H with the handle. The basket portion is 5 3/4" tall. No free shipping outside of the 48 states of the Continental USA. Hawaii, Alaska, and all other countries will have extra shipping.
