Recent customer praise, for the Emily wheel:
"I'm at a loss for words to describe how much I love this wheel. Spinning on her is so far beyond my wildest expectations. The speed, the momentum, the feel of the treadling... everything about her is sheer perfection. I'm absolutely thrilled with everything about her!!!
She has taken my love of this craft to another level, and I suspect my skill will improve by leaps and bounds thanks to your work of fine art and engineering."
