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.
