I bought one, and relief on it for breed studies.With so many breeds and blends to explore, I bought two more. All my Snyders are cherished workhorse tools. Excellent craft and price point.
I don’t have much to compare it to, but this is so much easier to use than the forst drop spindle I purchased from another company. Affordable price and beautifully made. Well balanced. I love it, thank you!
It’s perfect. Thank you and happy new year.
I am very pleased with this turkish spindle. It came in very well packed and it arrived much earlier than expected. I am waiting for a book on using a turkish spindle before I actually start using it. (I know I could go to online videos, but I prefer using a book.) It is a tad smaller than the drop spindle I have. Based on turkish spindle reviews I read, I decided to try one. Hopefully, I will enjoy it much more than the drop spindle I have .
I just started spinning and this is a lovely little tool that makes me excited to learn and continue! The wood is beautiful and smooth and I have been able to make pretty good singles with just a little practice. Thank you!
