NEW ADOPTION I know it has been a long time since I have posted. This wheel arrived yesterday from the Netherlands. I have yet to name her. She is carved all over just like a fine Western saddle. She has a makers stamp on the bottom of the table but it has faded with age. All I can make out is Norway. Must be that she was made in Norway. I thought Russ would blow his top when he saw her but instead he fell in love with her and helped me finish putting her together. When he goes to work tonight I hope to sit down and give her a spin. Many thanks to my new friends in the Netherlands, Hans and Gerrie. They sell many beautiful spinning and weaving tools on ebay. They are very easy to work with and do an exceptional job of packing. This is the fourth item I have received from them and I have been thrilled with them all. I also have to thank Hans as I borrowed his great picture of my wheel. It is raining out here so I couldn't take it out for picture taking.
