Rainbow Drop Spindle, 2.0 ounces, Greener Pastures

Handmade original top whorl rainbow drop spindle made by Point of View Farm. I love to drop spindle and I wanted a pretty spindle to work with and this idea was born. I LOVE the depth that resin offers as a material. It is like looking into another world. Kristy Glass bought one for herself and one for her daughter. We all love pretty tools.

The whorl is resin which is colored carefully by hand, then turned on a lathe to balance. It will handle the bumps that drop spindles receive in the course of use. The hardwood shaft is individually hand turned and then fit to the individual whorl.

This particular spindle weighs 2.0 ounces and about 9 inches in overall height. I have called this one Greener Pastures. This spindle has some opalescent foils in the whorl which catches and reflects the light as it turns.
