A few dizzes


These are pictures of some of the dizzes I have made.   They may or may not be available... Please see the "Items For Sale" page for those.

Unless for special order, I do not make according to any pattern -- the whim of the moment, the types of wood, the alignment of the planets... these and more influence the outcome of my making things.   All products are finished with either a light shellac coating, or a wax -- again, the wood determines what it will get for a finish.

I use many kinds of woods, mostly exotic, and NOT endangered!

Dizzes are generally in the 2-3" diameter range.  Some are larger or odd shaped, for pulling wool off a carding machine.
Others are odd shaped 'cause that's the way they turned out!

I make them on the lathe, generally out of laminated woods left over from other projects -- I don't throw away much wood!
