Notes

Looking at spindles over the years and refinishing many antiques, I had thought to try using spindles from old broken furniture as an interesting project…
The Whorls are turned from the dense hardwoods, Cherry, Walnut & Persimmon. Top & Bottom Whorl & finished with Tung Oil. Custom balanced in the final step.

My project listings will form a catalog of sorts of the type of fiber tools I am researching and recreating

The whorls are a common artifact in all levels of discovery from antiquity.

This was my 1st ancient tool form & has sold very well…
