I enjoy creating from wood and trust you will enjoy your choices. I use the Post Office 48hr service for parcels they are slightly more expensive but reliable and treat parcels with more respect than others!, if your purchase is urgent however contact me and for a little more I can send next day. I strive to recycle, the majority of my wood stock has been accumulated over many years, and in some cases donated, and this , I believe, helps to keep prices reasonable. To reduce my carbon footprint I make my own packages using salvaged cardboard - quite interesting as well!. The packaging tape and minimal bubble wrap sadly cannot usually be reused.

I have been turning items for spinners for some time. I was asked to make lace bobbins as well and I have found it interesting and absorbing to research the styles and skills required to make these very precise bobbins, I’m in admiration of those who use them to produce lace.

Absolutely delighted with these items. After a quick coat of bees wax finishing polish, the swift is set up and working perfectly. Also looking forward to learning to use the drop spindle. Great communication with seller and I really appreciate the use of recycled materials for packaging my order. Thank you!
