Ancient Kauri Wood Spindles
Jonathan's fascination with beautiful and rare woods interested him in
ancient Kauri wood, many thousands of years old. Kauri is light in weight
— Finished Midis range from 20-25 grams; Minis, 14-19 grams; Featherweight, 12-15 grams. Kauri is a beautiful 'napped' wood, a deep warm cinnamon brown when looking 'down the grain;' a lighter amber color when looking 'up the grain.' The price of these is $60 for a Midi, $50 for a Mini or Featherweight. Add $15 for a shaft in Cherry, Walnut, Cochin Rosewood, Tulipwood, Bocote or Bloodwood. Due to the variations in wood density, most of these whorls will be balanced with a fine brass pin placed in the underside of the whorl.
Kauri whorls are in the queue.
