This spinning wheel was started on March 3rd and finished on April 22nd of 2015. It was a commissioned piece for a lady in Southern New York and is capable of spinning a vast variety of plain and art yarns. It was made of prime Maple from further North in New York. Since then I have concentrated on an increased workload of repairs and relpacement parts for all kinds of vintage wheels and fiber tools......
As time marched on, I began moving away from the creation of wheels and moved into the restoration aspect dealing with spinning wheels and other fiber tools. I have been fortunate enough to place my healing hands upon some very special wheels...and in doing so, I have found great feelings of both accomplishment and reverence for each wheel's history. I always marvel at the craftsmanship and wonder if some famous person used the wheel in everyday tasks and projects. Perhaps one of the wheels was used by Betsy Ross, Abigail Adams, Jane Addams, Louisa May Alcott, Susan B. Anthony,
Marian Anderson, or any of the multitudes of famous women in history. Perhaps it was only an everyday woman who was performing a task just as important in the eyes of her family...They all hold a special place in bygone times as a utilitarian, a piece of historical antiquity or primitive useable furniture. Here are a few pictures of what I've worked on for other fortunate people.
