This is a flat based pillow in a 18" x 24" x 2" oval shape. The cover material is on top of a layer of Ethafoam© plus several layers of wool to build up the thickness and still leave a soft feel to it. The 3-1/2" x 6" roller is turned from Cherry wood and uses a brass plate and lever to hold the roller in place. The material inside the roller is again Ethafoam© plus wool. The cavity holding the roller is of Cherry wood mounted to a plywood base. Cover materials will change depending on availability. Material can be velvet or velour, colors generally in green, blue or purple. Price is $85.00.
This is a prototype that I started to play with. The concept is to develop a clean line in the pillow and incorporate the lace roll-up bar into the design. The base and back are made from plywood but the roller is turned from Cherry wood and is filled with Ethafoam© plus wool. And since I was in hurry this particular pillow does have a Styrofoam© filler. It should not cause you problems as you should be pinning into the roller and not the base unit. Measures 22-1/2" x 16". Price is $ 50.00.
Well, I thought that this was perhaps a bit fancier then I planned as a starting piece to build. But I received three inquiries in the first two day I displayed this. So I have addressed how to construct it. The finished piece looks a bit different because of the Cherry wood that was used. Also, the pierced decoration on the sides has been changed to a hand carved motif. But the remainder has stayed the same. Measures 15" square and 12" high including roller. Roller is 5" diameter and held in place with two wooden pegs. Another peg on the side keeps the roller from turning. Material covering will differ from piece to piece depending on what I find.
Price is $225.00.
