This was a fun project built for a fellow Lumberjock. It was fun researching and learning about inkle looms. The loom includes 6 shuttles to carry the weaving threads. The project is my first project out of the scrap bin. Its made of steamed cherry and read oak. Joinery is mortise & tenon and Miller Dowels. Finish is 4 coats of tung oil, 3 coats of lacquer and 2 coats of wax.

That is really nice work. You have to tell us where you got the medallion for labeling your work. I have been wanting to go to something like this.

David, that is a fine inkle loom. I have two that I built, because I weave with them, and found that when I do, somone is always interested in learning how, so I wound up with two
The woods you’ve used out of your “scrap bin” make it a beautiful loom that will only get better with time.

Dennis, thanks for telling me to check out the blog, I loved learning more about decal making, this logo is so special and really adds to the beauty of the loom. David I’d love to see someone using the loom, I will be reading how to do this as I will be the proud owner of this loom. I’m so excited of course it is so beautifully done and I’m sure I will love weaving. Today I plan to learn about the yarns that can be used and visiting a store to check them out. If you know of a good source to buy materials could you pass that information on to me? Also anything else that you think that might help me.

Dennis the Pimp… a true Lumberjock. Not just pimpin hissef out, but pimpin’ out the Jocks.
That’s what really makes this a fine place to be.
And every time I think of Inkle Loom, I think of Diane.
And then there are the inkle Loompa’s

The loom was made by a bunch of small loompas working in my shop at night – all I did was put it in the mail!
Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. Hope Diane will post an image of some weaving from the loom.

David, thanks that’s a good idea, I can scan a photo to post here. I have to learn a bit more before I can get weaving though so it might take awhile.

Very nice I had never seen one of these before. I have a friend that has made a couple of rug looms. I think he will enjoy looking at this

My wifes aunt is a weaver, so I find this project interesting on different levels.
Also, thanks for “reminding me” about getting my own makers marks… just fired off an inquiry… now to contemplate the artwork…

I got the loom wrapped, I will be giving it a test drive soon. It sure looks nice with it wrapped and ready to go.
