I was asked to make a weaving bench for my niece as she recently got a loom. Had no idea what a weaving bench looked like so I started searching the best resource, Lumberjocks.com. Tom “thejaz” at least got me started with his post; http://lumberjocks.com/projects/52041
Chose quarter sawn sycamore with a walnut key so it would somewhat match a hope chest I built her a couple years ago. http://lumberjocks.com/projects/66724
Seat is 12”x 36” between the supports and 42” wide overall. Seat supports are made so she can choose rocker style or flat and are adjustable from 19” up to 31”. The side uprights are 36” high. The trestle is 1 3/4” x 4” and secured with 1/2” x 6” walnut key. Finished by rubbing in tung oil finish, top coating with lacquer, then hand rubbed out.

My wife added a couple baskets to hold her shuttles, scissors and other tools close at hand.

Hi,
Are you perhaps building these for a somewhat reasonable price?
Thanks

Sorry, but no.
I only work for one client and she has me so far backed up not sure when I will get caught up. LOL

Well that’s the problem here too. My husband is so backed up with request from his wife, I was hoping to find someone elses’ husband to help!
Thanks for the quick replay, I will just add it to his list.
Have your say...
