Light Weight Checker Board Gear Spindle
top whorl drop spindle weighs 0.5-0.8 oz (15-22 g)
It features a hand-turned 2 1/2" diameter whorl made from Baltic birch ply, with a 8" (~7 3/16" under whorl) long Hard Maple shaft with a dinner bell hook.
Stained Gun stock and sealed.
I hand turn these with the mass to the rim for better balance and longer spin.
well balanced and tested
This unique shape is not just stylish but does what a good drop spindle does...spin.
The center cutouts not only makes it lighter it puts the majority of the mass to the rim and that's a good thing. Who doesn't want 20 notches?

Love this spindle, I love the design and the weight and it spins so beautifully. Why have I not bought one before? I was missing out.
