Carved Moose Antler and Ebony Tibetan Support Spindle


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


This exquisite 1.7 ounce moose antler Tibetan support spindle has been intricately carved by Dave with his signature leaf motif. The whorl measures 1 5/8 inches in diameter, and the ebony shaft is 9 3/4 inches in length.  You can find this handspinning tool in our Etsy shop.


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

Carved Moose Antler Burr and Ebony Bottom Whorl Drop Spindle



Dave has made this unique 1.8 ounce bottom whorl drop spindle from the burr of a moose antler. There is only one burr at the base of each antler (two per moose), and they are very heavy and dense. Dave decided this notched 2 inch whorl was so heavy it was best used as a bottom whorl.  The ebony shaft measures 10 inches in length, which includes the brass hook.  More photos can be seen at the Etsy.com listing for this spindle.
