Spindles

  Ewesful Hi-whorls

I love Hi-whorl spindles & I love to decorate my woodworking.  These little spindles are 20 - 45 grams.  They are all balanced for smooth spinning, & portable & light for fine spinning.  They are all signed, dated & numbered.

Doug Peake Spindles

These Hi-whorl spindles are made by woodturner - Doug Peake.

They are handmade from Yew wood, native to his home on the Queen Charlotte Islands. They vary in weight from 1 to 2¾ ozs. with intrigue designs carved in the notched whorls & pigtail hooks.   Each one is individual.

Now there are 3 Designs you can choose from.

The Wendy - has a removable whorl so it is easy to store & take along anywhere. The Yew 3" whorl has a circle design carved in, recessed on the underside & a turned stem on the 10 inch birch   shaft.  Wendy weighs about 1 oz.

The Lily - also has a removable 3" Yew whorl with a swirl design is flatter on the bottom for a bit more weight & a plainer 10" birch shaft.  Lily weighs 1½ to 2 ¾ ozs.
