It’s a toss up

I’m not sure whether I continue to weave because I actually like it, or whether I just like the chance to make little wooden doo dads to weave with. I warped my new loom (and totally forgot to get a picture before I started weaving, oops), and decided I needed another long shuttle. I found some flame maple in my wood scraps and used the band saw to slice and shape a new shuttle. I did sand it down to 400 grit before I wrapped it with yarn, but I didn’t want to spend the time to finish it with tung oil. I’ll get to that later, or, I’ll use it so much it gets a natural finish.

I don’t weave with the loom on the floor, but my kitchen counter is seldom photo worthy!
