This is a new design for Grizzly Mountain Arts! Dave has crafted the beautiful 1 7/8 inch acorn whorl of this support spindle from poplar. Pyrography, burn etching, was used to create the details on the acorn's cap. The 11 1/2 inch long shaft was created from walnut and the weight of this spindle in 51 grams (1.8 ounces).
First time I have seen this wild.
The wood was used to make spindles. It also makes high quality artist's charcoal.The fruits are an emetic.
It is a very pretty tree.

Old picture I found that my parents took of the famous Berwyn Spindle that was seen in the movie Wayne's World. The Spindle was taken down in 2008.

A very old machine, but it looks clean and waiting to be fed at any moment. Yarn spools on the top and the yarn already spun below.

This was my exercise in wet folding, to the extent that I’m not even sure if “folding” is still an appropriate word for the process of forming this shape. No glue was used except for the sizing contained in the thick Murano paper itself (just add water!).
A british native - the Spindle Tree. At this time of year with the leaves having fallen the pink and orange fruit stand out even more. If only a colourful bird could have perched amongst that lot.
Taken in Norfolk.
Spindle trees are a sign of age in an established hedge, as well as being useful in all sorts of ways.
After pollination, flowers develop into bright pink fruits with bright orange seeds, which look a bit like popcorn!.
Spindle is hermaphrodite, meaning each flower contains both male and female reproductive parts. Flowers have four petals and grow in clusters in May and June, and are pollinated by insects.
Spindle is a deciduous native tree, and mature trees grow to 9m and can live for more than 100 years. The bark and twigs are deep green, becoming darker with age, and have light brown, corky markings. Twigs are thin and straight.
I just love to see the fruits ... who can say that orange and pink clash after seeing these beauties? 😁
