This is our small folding wheel. Using feedback from our customers we have made some improvements. This wheel is ideal for traveling by public transportation. It is 14 inches wide and 18 inches tall. It has a 14 inch wheel. This little spinning wheel is made from solid wood. No mdf, particle wood, or plywood.
Each of the four Thimbles are identical with the exception of the design of the wheel itself.
The ‘Basic Thimble’ has a solid wheel.
The ‘All My Love Thimble’ has a solid wheel with hearts cut out.
The ‘Traditional Thimble’ has turned spokes.
The ‘Fairy Thimble’ has Scroll cutout Fairies in the wheel. Custom order only, not an inventory item at this time. Requires two weeks to four weeks depending on production status.
We currently use Red Oak or Hard Maple. We do not stain Red Oak.
We use wood wax to finish all our spinning wheels since we have found this to leave a much smoother finish than varnish, which swells the end grain on oak.
