Description
All our products are created and made by Canadian Wood Artist, Ed Pretty. Below is his description of his Drop Spindles.
Wood is not a homogenous material, so by nature it has varying densities throughout. The handmade hooks are fashioned from stainless steel with the ends deburred after cutting the wire. The nature of the wood together with the variance in the handmade hooks is why I take the time and care to balance all my whorls with copper weights prior to assembly. My whorls are finished with a friction polish sometimes known as “French polish”. The shafts are made of a variety of dense, close-grained hardwoods finished with Danish oil. The taper acts like a “transmission” by allowing an easier start transitioning to a high speed at the tip. The small “stand” where the hook attaches to the whorl can be used for “parking” the yarn while the spindle is not in use.
