High-whorl spindles
Woods used
Tabachek spindles are well-balanced - they spin fast and for a long time. They
have a silky-smooth finish and are a pleasure to look at, to hold and use.
Edward makes fine details in the whorls and shafts and gives the
whorls 3 notches. He uses small brass hooks which spinners really like and the
spinner can easily adjust the hook position. Before being sold, each spindle is test-spun to ensure it spins
well.
