I built this rack to display SWMBO's tapestries. It is patterned after the
roadrunner bird. The base, necks, bills and rails are Cherry Beech (Steamed
Southland SilverBeech) and the crests comprise (reading front-to-back)
Cocobolo, Zelkova, Bubinga, Bloodwood and Chatke-Viga.

This piece is entered in our school's exhibition. To see more of the

Very interesting and unusual design. Here, that would be a quilt rack.
Is making tapestries a big thing in NZ?

Well, my wife is a tapestry weaver, not a quilter, so around this household
tapestries are a big thing. ;-)

Since tapestries are much thinner than quilts, especially folded quilts, the
rails can be closer together, but there is no fundamental reason it could
not also be called a quilt rack.

Very nice. I will definitely be NOT showing this to my wife, who is a
quilter.

Sharp design. With a few minor modifications it would make a cool keyboard
stand for the musically inclined.

The woodwork shown on the web page is really very nice and some very unique.
The class must have been hard work, and rewarding.
