The lotus model is my celebration of the reversability of the arms’ curve. When a spindle has a wider diameter, I personally enjoy the feel of the spindle’s pull when the arms are upwards and I love watching the cop shape in the ‘flower’.
Weight is for cross arms only, consider 1-2.5g extra for small shafts and up to 5g for bigger models: approx. 20.5g total for this spindle
Your purchase includes one custom made shaft to determine after buying.
 
A labor of love, these are made with the desire to keep them light in proportion to their build for ease of a fast rotation.
The fine tip is great for quickly undoing the half hitch.
The Copper Inlay helps with momentum.
Make sure to wind on lightly in the beginning in order to be able to pull the arms out.
 
Wood Essence: Cross arms are made from Canadian Black Walnut
