A remarkably lightweight support spindle with a story beginning in the Austrian Waldviertel
This one-of-a-kind support spindle was handcrafted from beautifully figured apple wood sourced from a moon-felled tree in the Waldviertel region of Austria.
I personally collected the timber and carefully transformed it into this unique spinning tool in my small workshop near Linz, Upper Austria. From the original tree to the finished spindle, every step was completed by hand.
With a weight of only 11 g (0.39 oz), this spindle belongs to the lightest spindle designs in the Austrian Timber Bowl collection and is especially suited for spinning extremely fine yarns and delicate fibers.
The exceptional grain patterns running through the apple wood create a striking appearance that makes every spindle completely unique.
No mass production.
No anonymous timber.
Just a rare piece of Austrian wood transformed into a spindle designed to accompany your spinning journey.
Designed for ultra-fine spinning
Weighing approximately 11 g (0.39 oz) and measuring approximately 25 cm (9.84 in), this spindle is ideal for supported spinning of very fine yarns.
Its long, slender shaft provides excellent control during drafting, while the lightweight body enables smooth rotation with minimal effort.
The signature three dark accent rings reflect the distinctive Austrian Timber Bowl design and provide an elegant contrast to the warm natural tones of the apple wood.
Every surface has been carefully sanded and finished by hand to preserve the natural beauty and character of the wood.
From the Waldviertel to your hands
The apple wood used for this spindle originates from a moon-felled tree from the Austrian Waldviertel.
I personally collected the timber, selected the spindle blank and transformed it into the finished spindle in my workshop near Linz.
The photographs document this journey:
• The original apple wood
• Preparation of the spindle blanks
• The spindle during hand turning
• Grain and figure details
• Exact weight and dimensions
This traceable origin is part of what makes this spindle a true Austrian Timber Bowl piece.
