This wonderful handmade Cherry Boat Shuttle was made by my husband in our small woodshop in the woods on our property in the PNW. This is 1st select cherry with 100% red on the face and 50% on back and has gorgeous grain and color. Please note that the color tends to darken with age.
These are side-delivery boat shuttles and use Schacht 4 inch bobbins that spin freely on a brass, spring-loaded rod. The yarn feeds off the side of the bobbins and out a generous slot in the side of the shuttle. Finished size is 12-1/2 inches X 1-3/4 inches wide at the widest part and 1-1/4 inches tall. This boat shuttle weighs 6.0 oz.
My husband spends hours in his woodshop cutting, sanding and shaping with these wonderful pieces of wood. I love this particular shape of boat shuttle for my weaving. It fits my hands and zips across the shed easily. The curved ends are easy to grab when it arrives on the other side. We've carefully sanded and finished with steel wool in between coats of danish oil so it's lovely soft and smooth with no chance of it catching on your beloved weavings.
These photos show the exact shuttle you'll receive. I photograph each one individually.
I do my best to accurately photograph my yarn but monitors may differ. All my photos are taken outside in natural light. Please contact me with any questions before you purchase.
