My wife enjoys crocheting and she asked me to make some wooden basket bottoms.
She showed me a few websites that sell them and that's where I got the dimensions plus the hole count and hole size that I needed.
The ones for sale are made of very thin veneered plywood (3 or 4mm) and they are cut with a CNC laser. Some reviews objected to the campfire smell!
I'm using solid wood resawn, then drum sanded, to 1/4 inch thick.
If you aren't familiar with crochet baskets (I wasn't) here is a 2 minute video:

Here are some that I made.
Maple 14" x 6"
Cherry 6" x 6"
It's a great way to use up some scraps as well.
