Unknown woods, but there are two kinds. I think it is the Anne Boleyn model, which is redwood burl and bloodwood.
whorl: 2"
shaft: 7.5"
Despite it's compact size, this spindle weighs a whopping 2 ounces. I'm loving how this spindle seems to spin forever and ever. On the spindle is grey Shetland, from Spunky Eclectic. Of all the fibers I've tried so far, I think I'm liking Shetland the best. It has a really classic, sturdy feel to it.

Plenty to be found this year in Leigh Woods.
