>I've just uploaded a photograph of the  warp-weighted loom that I
>mentioned on this list last week.  The loom  is 6' tall (2 meters,
>roughly) and 3' wide (1 meter, roughly).  It's  a replica of a Viking
>loom and was used in the Viking Millenniuim exhibit  that toured the
>US around the year 2000.  The loom currently resides  in storage in
>Forestville, Maryland, outside of DC.  It is free--you  either have to
>pick it up or have it shipped.  It is already  crated.  The crate
>measures 82"x70"x35".  As you can see from  the photo, the loom is
>beautifully made of pale-colored wood and has a  warp currently on
>it.  It comes complete with the weights, shed  sticks,
>etc.  Everything you see in the photo.
>
>Please rescue  this loom!  They will burn it for firewood if some
>weaver or  historian doesn't claim it.  C'mon, all you loom
>enthusiasts and  historic re-creation folks--someone must want this loom.
>
>For more info,  contact Deborah Wood at <Deborah_Wood at sec.senate.gov>.
>
>If anyone  on the list is in touch with the Norweigian museum in
>Decorah, Iowa,  please let them know about this loom.  It seems to me
>that they'd be  a natural for it.
