A Simple Way to Map a Basket Weave Design for Kolrosing

This is the simple method I use to map out a basket weave design for kolrosing.
Kolrosing is the art of decorating wood using the sharp tip of a knive to seperate the wooden fibers. You then oil and rub a pigment into the design so that it will show up better.
I am mapping it out on paper to show the process, and this technique can be used on wooden surfaces big and small.
This was the first kolrosing design that I learned and you can see it featured in a lot of my work. A lot can be done with this design and you can keep it simple or make it as elaborate as you want to.

But…when you say you are excited you actually sound very calm and relaxed. 😂 nice video.

When you hear me say these dots go 4 x 4 @ 2:58, I should have said they go 3 x 3 🙃

No - you're not drawing 1cm marks - you're drawing 1/2cm marks.

That was the first thing I thought as well, otherwise a very helpful video!
