.........the fact that these are pointed at the tip, leads to me think that that's what these are, the tips also turn brown with age.......there were a lot of these growing along a mossy bank.
The other name I came up with was 'Orange Club' but as there name suggest, they are more club like with a rounded tip, so I think I'm stinking with Golden spindle - Clavulinopsis fusiformis
I love Redheart, and these large spindles are great for working with heavy fibers like Icelandic, and mediums like Romney.
Spinning your own yarn is lots of fun and very relaxing after a hectic day!
This spindle would make a great gift for a spinner friend or a real treat for yourself!
Whether you are just learning to spin, or are already an expert spinner, you will have many happy hours working with this bright and cheerful spindle.
Being of Russian background myself, I love the Russian traditional painting style called 'Khokhloma'.The folk art on this spindle was inspired by Khokhloma. 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 this spindle using top quality acrylic paints over a maple base that was beautifully handcrafted 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.

Spindle spinning project: the singles were wound off onto a skein and dip dyed in indigo. THe dye didn't penetrate into the skein fully where the singles kinked up, so the distribution is kind of random. It's coming out really nice. The singles and the plying are being done on my Cascade St. Helens spindle.
A friend of mine inherited it from her grandmother. As you can see, the shaft is not straight, though she says it spins true. The bottom of the shaft still has bark on it, though it has been considerably polished by use.
These are the five spindles I created based on photos provided by users in the Spindlers group on Ravelry.

A replica of an antique French spindle made from a photo suggested to me by a client. It's about 11 inches long, 2 oz, and is made of Walnut.
This is Oliver the cat modeling an artistic neck and tip that a customer asked for.
You can see that the neck is tiered and there are pyrographed (burned) lines in the neck and on the tip.
The spindle is made of Walnut, weighs about 1.2 ounces, and is 11 1/2 inches long.
