Tibetan Lite Support Spindles with Matching Bowls

Four new Tibetan Lite support spindles were listed in our Etsy shop today.  Canary wood, bubinga, lacewood and goncalo alves are the woods that were used to craft these beautiful handspinning tools.  The spindles weight between 1.0 and 1.2 ounces.  Our originally designed support spinning bowls combine the efficiency of a ceramic surface with the stability of a wide beautiful wooden base.
