3 Inch Tatting Shuttle with Doodle Art Pyrography




Sold--$59.00

This is another OOAK Doodle Art Shuttle handcrafted, initialed and dated by Dave. Dave is a scrimshaw artist and has done scrimshaw inked etchings on fossil ivory, bone and antler for years.  His pyrography Doodle Art, also called Tangle Art, is similar to his needle etched fine art on ivory except it is burn etched into wood using very fine razor tipped pyrography pens and a magnifying lens. Like scrimshaw, this painstaking work takes several hours over several sessions to finish. It is done freehand without laser or template so no two are ever alike.

Cascade Collection Tatting Shuttle


Dave has recently added an airbrush system to his studio, and as such has added a new line of tatting shuttles he is calling his Cascade Collection. Three of these new tatting shuttles are on the way to our Etsy shop.

Dave was inspired by the Fernware shuttles made in Mauchline, Scotland during the 19th century. The unique shuttles, sewing notions and boxes were decorated by using real fern leaves and other floral leaves in a reverse stenciling technique to develop beautiful designs that were shaped by nature. Since we live in the heart of the Cascade Mountain region and have an abundance of ferns and other floral leaves available, Dave wanted to reproduce an artisan shuttle similar to the antique shuttles once produced in Scotland. His Cascade Collection shuttles will include those with designs on a single side as well as some with double sides. He hopes to expand the collection to include other fiber tools such as spindles and spool knitters.

Handi-Wind Wooden Tatting Shuttle©


Dave has specially designed this "Handi-Wind" tatting shuttle with a screw-in finger hold that aides in loading the shuttle without slipping out of your hand. It is particularly useful for tatters with arthritis and those who just have "all thumbs". To help keep track of the handle, Dave has added an eye and jump ring so it can be worn around the neck with a cord or ribbon.

This shuttle is 2 3/8 inches long and was handcrafted out of red leaf curly maple, and the handle is walnut. Dave has adorned one side of this shuttle with a pyrographed oak leaf and acorn.

The Handi-Wind Wooden Tatting Shuttle©

Mini Brazilian Ebony and Jatoba Tibetan Support Spindle


The 1 3/8 inch whorl of this Tibetan style support spindle was crafted from Brazilian ebony. The 9 1/2 inch shaft and tip have been crafted from jatoba. The weight of this beautiful spindle is 1.1 oz. (30 grams).

When constructing his spindles, Dave mounts the spindle whorl blank on the shaft, and then turns and shapes the whorl and shaft together to achieve a well balanced spindle. In addition, he further spin balances each spindle by embedding a counterweight, when needed, in the whorl.
