Details:
This spindle set is one of a kind made by Cynthia D. Haney from boards, wire, and varnish. Osage Orange is more expensive than most domestic hardwoods, however the color and density for spinning are valuable. The stand (base) is for display and storage purposes only. The whorl has a notch to guide yarn toward the hook. Under the whorl the number, weight, and finish date are marked and I sign my monogram. The finish is durable; however dropping on a hard surface can cause blemishes. All dimensions are accurate within 3/8″ or 0.01 oz. for weight.
