brennan Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi - We have an antique Birds Eye Maple floor loom from the 1930s we want to store in our workshop out back. It has a finish on it, but we're a little concerned that the freezing temperatures out there might affect the wood. Would there be any problems? We plan to disassemble it to store it.

wtnhighlander Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi @brennan! Wood is affected very little by typical temperature changes in a temperate zone climate. More critical are swings in humidity. However, given the loom is almost 100 years old already, unless there is direct exposure to the elements, you are not likely to have any issue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Before you store it, share a pic with us. I bet that’s neat looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I’d love to see a picture of your loom. I too have a bird eye maple loom that is 100 years old. Wondering if yours is similar to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Doesn't it have a lot of metal parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
