I designed and built this quit rack for my cousin a few years ago. I looked for design inspiration on the net and looked at many different designs. I found little inspiration from commercial designs and had a vision of what I wanted. I came up with this somewhat unusual curved frame and panel design. The frame is joined with mortice and loose tenon and the panel is curly maple milled to 1/4”.

I understood these are to showcase the quilt. It would take a pretty amazing quilt to peel my eyes off of that…

Beautiful piece. I like the design and use of the natural wood contrasts. They work very well together.

Thanks for the comments folks. For the finish I used a tung oil, boiled linseed oil and polyurethane mixture. I’m a bit selfish with my woodworking, the piece is not meant to be about displaying the quilts but rather displaying my woodworking creation. Oh well selfish me.

nothing wrong in being selfish, when you are happy with the finished product you know you have done a good job!
