What a beautiful and unique of displaying your works of art. I'll have to keep an eye out for one. Thanks for the idea.

Questions were asked relating to my old "Witherspoon" Quilt Rack, that I made. I had been looking for an old "witherspoon" ... (They were used to hold a mirrow over the top of chest of drawers and/or old wash stands, that held a bowl and water pitchure.) .... to make a "wall quilt rack" with. I thought I was going to have to the whole chest of drawers, just to get the witherspoon .... but at a local Monday Night Auction, low and behold there were "two" (without the chest/wash stand) up for auction .... and I GRABBED both of them. The bigger one was from an old chest of drawers ... the smaller one was from an old wash stand. I aquired an old Gramma's Flower Garden piece that I hand quilted and finished .... the pictures below show the results of the smaller "witherspoon" .... which is on display in my living room.
Love these Dayle..:)

Wow. I have one that is falling apart out in my shed. What a wonderful idea. I guess I'll have to resurect it. Mine is a dark oak. Do you know what type of wood yours are? aaaaaaaai would think maple maybe.

Oh my you just gave me an idea. I bought a wash stand with a witherspoon attached quite some years ago. Its a replica made by a Mennonite man close by. I have it in my bathroom and wanted to move it to another room but didnt want the witherspoon on it, It does come apart. Now I have a use for both pieces Thanks
