Wall hanging blanket rack

Nothing to brag about here. It didn't turn out very well but I need to make an attempt at posting pics - I've never done this.

Edit: I forgot to mention that my grandmother grew the flax, scutched it and spun it into thread and combined it with the wool, which she processed from scratch to form what was called lindsy-woolsy. The second pic is just to show the uneveness of hand weaving

Looks good to me.

It looks very good to me. Nice work.

I don't see anything wrong with it. A great way to display an heirloom.

I appreciate the positive comments, gents but I'll fill you in on the 'issues' I have with this projects. The small piece of moulding around the top was made from the last piec of poplar that I had. I planed it down to 1/2", routed the edge and then cut it to width. The dang splitter had just been reinstalled and I thought it was aligned. It wasn't, so it pulled the piece a bit and left me with some serious tooth marks on the top edge. I was able to cut out most of them but it meant that I had to make the longer front piece out of two pieces. On of those had the defect so it isn't and exact match. There. That's my shame. I lose sleep. Naa. I just wanted to get this done for the wife and was very disappointed even tough you can't really see the defect under the ivy. You may have noted the bare wood on the rod. After folding it was a little off and shows. All I did was seal the wood with poly.
Thanks again,
Chiz

...using your craftsmanship to celebrate your grandmother's craftsmanship: priceless!

Both Projects look great to me.

I'm sure we've all had some sort of miscue that we covered up in our own fashion. That's what makes it craftsmanship.

Good job, I think they both look great.

Hey- I can't see it, and it isnm't sitting there in the front of the big piece, so what's the matter? The blanket is going to attract more attention, anyways, so a little mistake woln't ruin a simple project like that.

Funny (odd) story on the blanket. I used that blanket when I went to camp as a kid and you can still see the identifying label in the lower left corner of it on the photo. Then, about 10 years ago, my sister was visiting Mom and recognized some pieces of the blanket in a rag bin and about flipped. She was able to save them and sewed it back together as best she could. Then she confiscated it. Finding ono place ot display it she gave it to me. The rest is history. Thanks for the compliments.
