Here are the latest pop-a-bobbin shuttles to be made, at the moment there are other woods to choose from but I thought you would be more interested in these from my last post.
They are on a huge piece of cedar of Lebanon wood. As you can see from the rings (which are supposed to determine the age of a tree) it came from a tree over a hundred years old. The tree is still growing and this piece, along with many more good sized chunks, came down in a storm.
I love the picture. I can almost smell the tree after the storm and almost feel the lovely grain in the wood.
ReplyDeleteActually the Cedar has a really lovely smell when it is cut.
DeleteOoh! Are the yew shuttles available for purchase? I would love one!
ReplyDeleteDiana I am sure I have your email somewhere, will be in touch yes they are for sale.
DeleteBeautiful shuttles. The tree rings are very impressive. So neat.
ReplyDeleteJane they are impressive and very clear, I think this piece was oiled which brings them out more.
