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.
