This lovely medium size supported spindle design will be a delight for the spinner who loves a supported spindle.
The spindle shaft is made from Dymondwood which will resist warping with humidity changes, is very hard and strong and gives a long lasting durable spindle. The spinning point is made from a titanium insert.
The thin large diameter whorl design adds duration to the spin while keeping the overall weight low. The spindle is finished to a very smooth surface, polished with a french polish and then a final gloss of carnauba wax for a long lasting shine and protection.
Your spindle is made by Jory Freyee to one of Malcolm's designs. The photos show a very close representation of the item.
Your spindle is checked for quality and spin before despatch and comes with tip protectors and is packed.
This spindle style has a remarkably long spin and excellent balance due to the adjusted whorl. The spindle operates at a high speed and is very easy to flick. The large diameter means it will hold a large cop.
