This Steampunk Medium weight top whorl drop spindle weighs 1-1.2 oz (27-34 g) Experience Level: Beginner and above It features a hand-turned 3 1/2" diameter whorl made from Baltic birch ply, with a 10" long poplar shaft with a dinner bell hook. Stained Red Mahogany and sealed. I hand turn these with the mass to the rim for better balance and longer spin. 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?
