This customer teaches the art of weaving Native American rugs. She gets requests to build looms for her students so she wanted the ability to incorporate her own unique brand on her looms. 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 was no exception. I could have just welded a rod onto the brand back plate, but I went with the idea of using webbing for looks and for dispersing heat before it traveled up the handle.
John designed the perfect brand for me to use on the looms that I build for my customers. It works great! I am able to heat it up in the fireplace or the outdoor firepit and customize my looms. John was very innovative in creating a handle that does not get hot.
