Looking for a hand-made drop spindle, bottom whorl...Can anyone suggest someone who makes unique (even funky!) unsual dop spindles in the UK? Am looking for bottom whorl only, with quite a weighty whorl for chunky yarns...
It's my brithday in a month's time, and I need to give Tom some suggestions!
There are some amazing spindles available from the US, but would rather buy from a UK maker.... hand-carved or hand-painted considered!
Cheers!

Funnily enough, Gareth is working on some large oak ones even now. Let me know what you have in mind and I'll knock his lathe arm at the right moment, Typical prices between £5 and £15 depending on fancy-ness

Large oak sounds good! prices reasonable too. Cheers Sally 
Not 100% sure what i have in mind i.e. decoration, just something v.unusual... would know the right thing when I see it! Maybe I should hunt some photos of ones I do like for reference...
Have just been reading on another thread that Claire's DH makes spindles but can't read the piccies
