Quilt Stand

My wife made a quilt to be raffled off in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,Team in Training,  in which my sister-in-law will be running in, and to display the quilt she needed a stand. I used pine and the posts are fitting into the base for ease of storage and transport. The quilt hangs by a ¼ x 3½ inch board in a sleeve and rests on the the posts in slats at the top. The posts are hollow and light, later I'll put some poly on them to help protect the wood. A quick and easy project that turned out better than she wanted.

Shuttles

It has been a while since I made anything that wasn't for the house. These are shuttles for weaving, and I made them for Legacy Lane Fibre Mill, and this is what they do. I used mahogany and with a little glue and screws they should be strong enough to the job and light enough as not to be tire everyone out, as they have to be passed through many many times.

Also some of the wood working I have been doing has been building cupboards, some for appliances and others built-ins. They are from cabinet grade plywood, maple veneer with a 5 layer core, very stable and strong. I have many more to make and will show them off later.
