I am Cynthia D. Haney the wood turner and owner of Cynthia Wood Spinner. I turn wood on my lathe, pictured above, and carve it by hand. Away from the workshop I spin with my spindles, knit, crochet, and sew.

Sales
My business, Cynthia Wood Spinner, is licensed in Nelson County, VA and registered for Virginia Sales Tax. As a result Virginia customers have 5.3% tax added.
Wood changes color over time, this may take many years. In most cases I can describe the potential final color. Any metal such as spindle hooks changes color as patina develops.
Custom Orders:
All custom orders require a nonrefundable deposit up to half the expected price, at least $20. I cannot guarantee an exact spindle weight or grain pattern until it is finished. I will keep you informed during the process.
Email me with your request including type of tool, preference for wood(s), size, shape, weight, and intended use. It helps if you say what you like about the tools I have already made. Use the gallery for ideas. Let me know if you have a specific time frame in mind and how you prefer to be contacted with progress updates. I will contact you to clarify details, price, deposit, and timing. Shipping cost or pick up is your responsibility on custom work (store shipping promotions and/or coupons do not apply to custom orders). Once I receive your deposit I will get to your order as soon as possible. When I finish turning your item(s) I will contact you for full payment. You would lose your deposit if you decline to complete the order, don’t pay the balance, or are unreachable for three months upon completion. If that occurs I will sell the item(s) in my store.
