Description:
Sorry, having lots of trouble uploading info on this loom. Didn't mean to post it three times! Still working on it.
Barn frame loom made in the 1800s in the Appalachian region of the U.S. All joints are mortise-and-tenon with wooden pegs (except the 2 diagonal arms that support the top-most beams). Ox yoke-style overhead beater. Heavy, hand-hewn warp beam with broom-handle tensioner. Just acquired it, and will be working on bringing it back into service this winter making rugs. If it doesn't fall on me and crush me first. : )
