Rug Hooking Frame

With each new project my wife starts there are always new projects for me. This time I made a rug hooking frame. I had a few odd boards of Birdseye maple to use for the frame and base, they look great. The frame is 12 x 12 and pivots on the sides and rotates at the base for more flexibility when working with the piece. My wife ordered gripper strips or hardware clothe depending on whom you talk to and I fastened 10 inch strips to each side with ¾ inch staples. So far she likes it and it is working great.

Still Working With Wood

I'm still working with wood, I just haven't done many projects dedicated to creating with wood, other than building the kitchen cabinets. It has been a long road and there are still a couple of more to do before I can finish off the kitchen, it will get done. You can see the progress of the kitchen and the work I did making the cabinets if you visit my other Blog called "The Searsville Project". There I have posted my work for family and friends from afar to see. Here are a few pictures of the project so far.

The bulk of the project.
