Signature Series is made with the same care and attention as all my spindles, however, the Signature Series is made from the most pretty bits of wood I have, the downfall to those super pretty bits of wood is that they are usually very out of balance and need a lot more care and attention to get to the wobbleless spin i have for all my spindles. this means more of my time is needed and therefore i put more care and attention then usual. i also try to enhance the look if each spindle with the most special of inlays. Every Signature Series spindle will be the best spinning and best looking spindle i can make, if it has the Signature Series seal then you know you will be receiving something very special indeed.
The item that you will receive will be the spindle in these photos.
This spindle design is an heirloom quality item designed for a lifetime of use. You will receive a spindle similar to the photo. Hand turned in 2024 by Jory Freyee with design by master craftsman Malcolm Fielding in the workshops of the Spindle Shop, Queensland, Australia. 100% Australian made, no parts are outsourced or made on copying machines. All products are tested and quality controlled.
The supported spindle shaft of this heirloom quality item is made in Frogwood for durability, stability and long life. The tip is made from a titanium insert for extreme durability. The point is carefully shaped to be slightly rounded over to avoid damage and scratching to support surfaces, and to ensure really smooth spins at all angles.
The whorl is a saucer shape, hollowed on the top side. This design has a very long duration high speed spin characteristic. The balance has been tuned and perfected by insertion of nickel-silver pin weighting in the rim of the whorl as needed. The spindle has been tested both for static and dynamic balance.
The spindles is polished with a high shine French polish and a final gloss of carnauba wax adds durability.
All my spindles are tested before despatch and come with a free sample of our lovely fibres.
*Frogwood is a wood laminate made from dyed veneers, set in a resin glue binder and dried under high pressure to create an extremely durable and stable material ideal for use in fibre tools.
