Fancy Drop Spindles

Introduction . Fancy spindles . Production spindles . Sneak Peek . Whorls . Compliments

April 12, 2008..... Workshop is closed for the summer and I am NOT accepting orders until this fall. E-mail Tracy

........These fancy drop spindles (Overlay style) are made of solid walnut with an overlay of thin Baltic birch, into which has been scrollsawn an image or (Rim style) the same Baltic Birch image with a Walnut rim-ring top and bottom for a true 'rim weighted' spindle.

These images are cut by hand on a Scroll saw.   They are NOT laser cut!

The spindles are coated with a good durable polyurethane finish and come with a brass reinforced tip to limit stem damage when dropped .   Bottom whorl spindles feature a tapered stem topped with a stainless steel hook.  Top whorl spindles have a stainless steel hook and precise whorl notch to position the yarn in exactly the same spot each time and a shouldered stem to prevent the whorl from ever moving down the stem.   See whorls for more information.

I am now making whorls using  Walnut as the base wood, with Baltic Birch as the "image".

While I may not have these spindles on hand, these clickable pictures will give you an idea of what the current designs look like.

The "Hummingbirds" whorl on the left is an example of the "overlay" style ($35) and the whorl on the right is an example of the see through "Rim" style ($50).  See whorls for construction information.

These images are cut by hand on a Scroll saw.  They are NOT laser cut!
