Drop spindles collected from Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Guatemala.
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.
I went to Lowes and found all the pieces (except for the skate bearing) to build my own Kick Spindle. Its a kind of supported Spindle for spinning wool. I'm so happy with it. What do you think??
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.

Delta Rockwell 11x36” lathe with lots of tooling. I’ve been using this for 13 years as a hobby lathe and have loved it. I’m only selling because I bought a larger lathe. It’s fairly easy to take this apart into several sections that a few people can carry—that’s why I originally bought it along with the 220V single phase power required. It's under power and you can take a few cuts with it.

Pictures don't do this spindle justice! It is absolutely luminescent in person and sort of smells like the sea.

Euonymus europaeus.
Windrush.
A native shrubby tree that is a good indicator of ancient hedgerows and woodland. Not common though in recent years increasingly included when planting new hedgerow, it is found in all the Windrush hedges and along both rivers.
Spindle wood is exceptionally hard allowing it to retain a point and so was once used for spindles and even toothpicks. (Though it is likely the name derives from the Dutch "spilboome".) Spindle charcoal is also prized by artists.
Nectar rich small green flowers in late Spring and berries providing a winter food source for birds both make Spindle a welcome sight, it also provides food for the spindle ermine moth. Less welcome for gardeners it provides a winter nesting site for black bean aphids, but this in turn attracts large numbers of overwintering ladybirds.

Thread spindles from the mill were recycled in various fashions throughout the building, including use as decorative railing.

Whether you are just learning to spin, or are already an expert spinner, you will have many happy hours working with this classical spindle.
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. This spindle has been tested and balanced for the best spinning performance. I have coated it with several coats of gloss varnish for that extra shine and durability.

"On sugar maple, another leaf gall is commonly found, the maple spindle gall. This gall is also caused by a mite, Vasates aceriscrumena (Riley). 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. "
