I would think Peter would be your man!
How cool a project, please keep us updated. I've love to hear about your experiences!
Your beart-mhor sent me scrambling for my Gaelic dictionary.
Mor means big or great of course, so I wondered where the "wood" came in.
Beart is a general term meaning a device, machine, or gear of many sorts (loom, plough, harness, even sword-sheath and a ship's rigging) thus beart-mhor would be "big device" more or less.
Beart-fhigheadair "weaving machine" is what is given for "loom" (and clarifies a certain screen name).
I love these linguistic rabbit-holes.
