Jenkins Aegean Spindles

Jenkins Woodworking
Aegean Spindles
*********************************************************************************

Aegeans are made with Boxwood, Carob, Cherry, Holly, Honey Mesquite, Mammoth Kauri, Mytle, Olive, Pear, Pistachio, Sycamore and Walnut. $50 each. All shafts are Maple.

See Spindle Description page for a picture comparing the size difference between all Ed's spindles.

Ed free hands each design. Not only does he do his own creative geometrical shapes, he uses Anglosaxon runes and Linear B, a pre-Greek syllabary with ideograms. (See examples below spindles for sale) If you'd like a special symbol or design please bear in mind that circles and curves can be very tricky to execute on wood!

Oct 3: We took off a few days to visit our grandchildren in Idaho! It was wonderful to finally get a small vacation! A malfunctioning router greeted our return. After calls to our internet service provider, a trip to Salem, much head scratching and cable switching, it seems to be finally working consistently. There are a number of orders to process and mail tomorrow but I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to add some Aegeans to the website within the next day or two!
Thank you for your patience during this transitional time!

* Mammoth Kauri doesn't fall into the criteria for our Aegeans but Ed couldn't resist adding it due to the
age of this ancient wood which is dug from peat bogs in New Zealand. Scientifically proven to date before
the Ice Age. New Zealand only allows so much of it to be dug and sold each year.

If you'd like him to use a design that you pdf and he uses it, Ed retains the right to use that design for future
spindle.

Ed uses maple for all Standard spindles, Delights, Aegeans and Larks.

Shaft Replacements: If your shaft breaks please email the type and weight of your spindle (Aegean, Delight, Kuchulu, Lark or Standard). Ed will make a new shaft for your spindle.
$10 will include replacement and Postage.

Ed makes each shaft specifically for the individual spindle. One shaft does not fit all! When making a replacement shaft he uses a spindle of the same weight to test spinning balance.
