Available Wheels
Photos below are only examples of the styles currently offered. Not all styles on this page are available for purchase, currently only the Emily and 16" Sabrina are in production.
Post pandemic prices reflect inflation on a wholesale level, and the limited availability of woods we typically use. Currently we have a good selection of woods in stock, but our suppliers have informed us that prospects for the future are very limited. Mother Nature determines what types of figure may be found in a mill run. The recent mill runs have not yielded much in the way of figured wood, so what we have for our current run becomes more precious.
When wheels are completed, and available for purchase, actual photos will appear on our homepage along with pricing for each available wheel as we have some very special ones coming that will be a bit more costly than base prices listed. Advance photos available upon request as things progress.

Left or Right side flyer?
Our customers decide which side of the wheel the flyer is to be positioned for a pre-order wheel.Left side, or right side, its all the same to us.
An Emily is unique in that it may have a flyer on either side, or on both. A Quincy, Colette, or A-Frame can only have one flyer, either the left side, or the right.
Which side is the correct side for the flyer to be positioned depends on the customer's preference and comfort. Most customers have an idea which works best for them. If you are unsure of which, we suggest seeking advice from a fellow spinner, or trying out a specific flyer side if possible.
