I thought these trees were so strange--tall spindly things with hardly any leaves, and so much taller than everything around them.

Whorl notice the beautiful wood grain.

Tom Golding rocks. Just sayin'.

Worl is 3" in diameter. Shaft is 10.5" long and 3/16" in diameter.

So the story is that some people wanted to do some public art in Victoria that had to do with First Nations people before the Caucasian invasion... and they wanted a cultural symbol, and drop-spindles were a big part of the culture around these parts. So seven cedar drop-spindle sculptures were created, but then it was realized that the cedar could get vandalized too easily, so they cast them in bronze. On the right is the drop-spindle sculpture outside the Royal BC Museum in downtown Victoria.

On the left: a buncha crazy spinners, who are pretty much all of European origins, as far as I could tell. Also: tourists with big cameras taking photos of spinners spinning around the spindle. Awesome!

A collection of faceplates and a drive dog came with the lathe, all made from 1"x12TPI nuts welded to various size round plate.

A sanding table allows faceplates to be used as disc sanders.
