The Wheel of My Dreams Comes Home!

Here She is!!! She came home last Friday. Betty's craftsmanship is incredible! This is the most beautiful wheel I have ever seen.

I wanted to get right to spinning on her but after a whole weekend of cleaning out the garage I couldn't even lift my foot to treadle.

I will let you feast your eyes on her with these pictures --- I'll have more!! I will be spinning on her before the week is out!!!

The Spinnng Wheel Of My Dreams!

My friend Betty is a brilliant wood worker and she is making me a gorgeous spinning wheel! I could never have dreamed I would ever own one like this. Here are some pictures of it, work in progress. I can't wait to spin on it! This fabulous spinning wheel is made of walnut and birds-eye maple. The source of the walnut was from my family's farm.

The detail is incredible, carving on the table, lattice work on the wheel.

And beautiful ivory detail.

It is so gorgeous!

Here is the wheel itself. The center is birds-eye maple and bone. Look at that the inlaid mother of pearl too! Would you believe that the wheel is one piece!!


I absolutely love this spinning wheel. I can not wait to spin on it.
