Exclusively available in the US through Colophon, these beautiful sewing frames are handmade in northern Portugal by James Oliver, proprietor of Olive and Oak. 

Consisting simply of a base, two threaded posts, two wooden nuts, and a crossbar, sewing frames are an ancient design that still provides a convenient means of securing cords or tapes while sewing books by hand. 

James makes his sewing frames out of solid sapele, a beautiful tropical wood from West Africa that shares many visual and structural characteristics with mahogany. The posts are hand-turned and threaded, and each part of the frame is finished with a durable satin varnish. 

Additionally, the sewing frame can be easily disassembled for convenient transportation or storage.
