These are some pictures of a series of Quilt display racks that I have built over the years for use in various places in our house. They are made of Cherry, (in case you haven't guessed, my favorite wood), and relate in size to the intended items to be displayed. They are in various rooms in use for display of the quilts and to have them available for timely usage. All of these quilt rack designs are patterned after some 19th Century quilt racks that I saw in various Shaker Museums that I have visited.

Inquiring minds want to know how you became interested in the art of woodworking and how you gained that level of skills: did you take classes, self taught from books or apprenticed under someone. Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing with us.

I love the look of the one in front of the fire place, and I like how the big ones lean against the wall. I need one fire place size, but I would have to have one that leans, the feet would be to wide. Ever made one like that, or does that make sense? Beautiful work, very nice. :thumbup: :) :D
|
Great quilt racks, beautifully made. And they do a lovely job showing off your wonderful quilts.
|
Your work is beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us :)
PS. Your story is very interesting too! |
Your first picture should be in the pages of a national magazine! Very beautiful work, both in cherry and in cotton!
I love your signature line "Making the world a better place, One stitch and one dovetail at a time." |
You do a wonderful job with wood. I love the quilt racks, they are perfect for show off a quilt. :thumbup:
|
Very nice. Do you sell any of your pieces?
|
Love the quilts. The hanger is beautiful but it is the quilts I am looking at.
|
You are quite the talented man. Beautiful racks and quilts!
