This customer is a teacher of weaving Native American rugs.  She gets requests to build looms for her students.  So she wanted the ability to incorporate a mark of her own.   She asked me to come up with some ideas.

This was the first design and she loved it.

This brand is made from bare carbon steel.

I always add extra style and utility in all projects and this brand is no exception.  I could have just welded a rod onto the brand back plate.

I went with this idea of using webbing for looks and for dispersing heat before it goes up the handle.
