This is a set of the three basket weave dies for the Northstar and TA Metal Works 4" clay extruders. These dies extrude shapes that can be used to weave baskets out of clay strips. The set includes one die each that is three, four, and five "strands" wide.
Each die has multiple openings to produce several strips at a time, speeding basket production.
Extrusion Dimensions: Each extrusion is 1/4" by 3/4", 1", or 1 1/4" wide.
Die Dimensions: Each die is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 1/4" thick.
