Beds

I’ve made several medieval beds based on the Oseberg and Gokstad ship burials. A couple based (loosely) on some I saw and photographed at the Hancock Shaker Platation (cs. 1830s) and some I just made up.

Benches

I made dozens of benches on a couple of medieval designs and sold or gifted them to people in the SCA. The maple 2012 prototype I kept.

Looms

I made approximately 250 marudai between 2010 and 2012 and if I ever make another, it will be too soon. Also a couple of inkle looms.
