Holy Land Olive Wood Bobbin Lace Lazy Susan Set

Dave has hand crafted this set of Lazy Susan lace tools out of Bethlehem Olive wood from the Holy land. They are each approximately 5 ¾ inches overall length, including the needle. On these, he used cotton darner needles which have the larger eyes for easier threading--one he bent at an angle, and the other he has left straight.

This Olive wood set is currently up for auction on Ebay.

The companion needle is made from a joining of olive wood, walnut and mesquite. The four knitting pins are solid brass which will not rust. This unique set has been initialed and dated by Dave.
