A couple of weeks ago, the wonderful Alice and Jeff from Virgina brought my long-fostered wheel up to New England with them for me (thank you, the wonderful Alice and Jeff!). This wheel is just beautiful, and with a little cleaning up, some boiled linseed oil to spruce her back up, and some new hooks, she spins beautifully. I'll be replacing the leathers next week (or as soon as the leather arrives from
Brettuns Village up in Maine).
Here are some pics of the little vixen:
UPDATE 7/5/11
The leather came in today from Brettuns, and I managed to make new leathers for Amelia without hurting myself. Took a little bit of trial and error, but she's all lubed up and spinning again.
I'm having a lot of fun with this one!
