Search for a new front basket resulted in some carpentry

I had a handle bar basket that just wasn't cutting the weight and size of my bag. So I settled on the Wald 139 which was big enough to carry my bag and had forks down the the front axle ($12.5 new at Amazon). In my search I did notice that Wald sold a 139 Woody, but for $50, it wasn't going to happen. So I made my own. Balanced off the look with a little flare on the back basket with the leftover. It didn't help after seeing some really cool racks and baskets on vacation this past summer.

Used it on bike two seasons ago. Marked a few poles. For fishing completely, unnecessary if you have the Army Corp map. However, for planning where to park it has helped. PIA for fishing - obviously you can't leave it out. Put it in the picture for reaction, knowing it would get some eye rolls
