It is a slippery slope I'm heading down. Some of my tools were old and beat up when I got them, and that was a long time ago. The nails on the raddle were rough and rusty. The warping board had splinters. Both were left behind by textile students, unwanted even then. Free was good. New is better.
Wednesday I drew out plans for what I wanted.
We picked out the wood and got to work.
I sanded the warping board this morning. By the time I headed back to the shop with a thermos of hot tea, Chris had given both a coat of finish.
and the raddle..

Very nice! Are you still sliding? 😉
Whoa! Nice tools!
A warping board I understand. And that’s a nice looking one! What’s a raddle for?
Wowza!
You best strap on a pair of skis- you are heading downhill–and fast! Enjoy the ride!
The raddle is excellent! I am definitely going to have to copy that idea.
There goes more of your knitting time…
Wow, you’ve been busy. You are a true contemplative creative. A blend of pattern and color. Sheets of thin crackely ice with water bubbling below. With a special tinkling crunch when broken. Very nice. A digital montage.
