Carved Moose Antler and Jatoba Tibetan Support Spindle with African Mahogany Support Spinning Bowl


*Due to export restrictions of wildlife materials, we cannot ship products crafted from antler outside of the U.S.*

This exquisite 1.0 ounce (28 grams) moose antler Tibetan support spindle has been intricately carved by Dave with his signature rose motif. The whorl measures 1 3/8 inches in diameter, and the jatoba shaft is 10 inches in length.

Our originally designed support spinning bowl combines the efficiency of a ceramic surface with the stability of a wide beautiful wooden base. The ceramic bowl measures 1 3/4 inches in diameter, and the gorgeous African mahogany wooden base is 2 3/4 inches in diameter. Cork has been added to the bottom of this bowl to keep the wood from scratching other hard surfaces.

**Moose antlers are naturally shed each year, so no moose were harmed to create this spindle.**

DIY Poplar and Birch Top Whorl Spindle


Here is your opportunity to put your own spin on making a one of a kind spindle for yourself or as a gift or resale. Why waste time and money on wooden toy wheels, crooked dowel rods, coffee cup hooks and split shafts? 

Dave has professionally crafted this DYI top whorl spindle complete with a 1 7/8 inch poplar whorl and a 9 1/2 inch birch shaft (8 inches below the whorl), brass hook and a notch in the 3 o'clock position. The whorl has been sealed and sanded smooth ready to paint (do not stain since the wood has been sealed). The birch shaft has already been finished with polish. Of course you don't have to paint it if you don't want to. Just wax the whorl and off you go. 

This spindle weighs 0.7 oz (21 grams) and can be found in our Etsy shop.
