My son broke my spindle after finishing just one project with it (well actually, just the singles). I usually keep it better protected but I left it sitting on a shelf for a couple hours. The next thing I know he was carrying it to me saying "Mommy? did I broke it a little? "
I will of course be sending it back to the maker and paying for a repair if he does them, because it was a lovely spindle in all respects.
Greenish twigs and tiny opposite buds. The older twigs can be very obviously ridged, though this character does not work as well as some literature suggests.

Russian style spindles were first used in the Russian region of Orenburg to create incredibly fine gossamer shawls famous for their fine quality and delicate patterns (see last photo).
Being of Russian background myself, I love the Russian traditional painting style called 'Khokhloma'. The floral design on this spindle was inspired by Khokhloma folk painting. This remarkable Russian decorative craft dates back to the 17th century and gets its name from the Volga trade settlement village of Khokhloma.
Khokhloma is an original Russian folk art, a unique expression of national culture, and this contributes to its growing popularity. Khokhloma gets its bright, happy character from a distinctive matching of scarlet, black and gold.
I painted theis spindle and bowl using top quality acrylic paints over a maple base that was hand-turned here on Etsy by Joshua Lynch of TexasJeans.

The gall appears as thin, elongate bladders arising from the leaf upper surface. These galls rarely distort the leaf but considerable numbers of galls can make the leaves unsightly. "
