Bandweaving rigid heddle, birds
$185.00
Sometimes a weaver needs a tool simply because it's beautiful. This lovingly handcarved bandgrind, or band heddle is one of those tools. Use it or display it. The perfect gift for a weaver who you think has everything--except this little treasure. Handcarved and signed by master Swedish woodworker Åke Erlandsson. When I was in Sweden in August 2026, I learned that Åke, at 90-years-young, had decided to pass his craft onto the next generation. These are some of the last rigid heddles handcarved by Åke.
