Signature Series is made with the same care and attention as all my spindles, however, the Signature Series is made from the most pretty bits of wood i have, the downfall to those super pretty bits of wood is that they are usually very out of balance and need a lot more care and attention to get to the wobbleless spin i have for all my spindles. this means more of my time is needed and therefore i put more care and attention then usual. i also try to enhance the look if each spindle with the most special of inlays. Every Signature Series spindle will be the best spinning and best looking spindle i can make, if it has the Signature Series seal then you know you will be receiving something very special indeed.

This is a Russian-style spindle, you will receive the one in these photos.

This heirloom quality spinning tool is an original designed and made by Jory Freyee in the workshop of The Spindle Shop.

All products are tested and quality controlled. This spindle is a development of ideas I have worked on for supported spindles with more spin duration. The spin characteristic and general size and handing make this design intermediate between traditional Russian and traditional Tibetan spindles. The shaft is made from Frogwood. Frogwood is ideal for a supported spindle as it is completely stable and very hard wearing.

The spindle is finished with french polish for a long lasting shine and protection. Frogwood is phenolic resin impregnated wood veneers that are laminated and compressed. It is more stable than regular timber, and quite a bit tougher than most timbers.

The ball shaped whorl is an attractive shape that enhances the wood grain this shape adds great duration to the spin. The support tip has a fine titanium point for extended life, long spins and low friction. Your spindle is checked for quality and spin before despatch and comes with tip protectors. This spindle style has a very long spin and excellent balance.

All my spindles are tested before despatch and come with a free sample of our lovely fibres.
