Craftsman-Style Wastepaper Basket

With its open slat design and “rivets,” this wastepaper basket looks so great you won’t want to hide it under your desk.

A well-appointed office just isn't complete without a matching wastepaper basket. This Arts and Crafts-inspired project certainly serves the purpose well. At first glance, the cylindrical shape of this basket might give even the most seasoned woodworker pause. In reality, the framework is nothing more than two sets of concentric, hexagonal rings. But the best part about this project is that it can easily be completed in a couple of days.
