I am writing an article about Dorset looms and seeking info about them. Please email me if you have a Dorset loom and would be willing to answer the following questions. Answers may or may not be included in the article.
1. Is there a brass nameplate on the top of the loom? What does it say? Location of name?
or
2. Is the Company name pressed into the wood on the castle? What does it say?

3. How old is your loom? (If anyone bought their's new, we would really like to hear from them!)
4. Is the wood Maple, Oak or Cherry?
5. Weaving width is it?
6. # shafts and # treadles?
7. Does anyone have an family info on F C Wood and family?
8. What have you woven on it that is particuarly interesting?
