yah so I have been on tenderhooks waiting and waiting and waiting. And it's finally here. Ordered on Thursday, November 20, 2003 8:56 PM per email confirmation and arrived Monday, March 21, 2006 4:05PM. Supposedly 12 are made each year but June's is numbered #301 and she got hers in October of 2003. According to Heidi the waiting list is a piddly 2078 so just hop onto it alread. Mine is figured maple. The tag:

Wowie that is lovely. Can you swivel that flyer assembly to the other side if you want, so you can spin like on a standard saxony wheel? Or on top like a castle? I love the wood.

Oh Elka- congratulations on your beautiful wheel- even if you don't spin on it you'll certainly have pride of ownership- BTW is that Canadian Maple?

there is something about spinning wheels that seem to me that they are a part of our emotional make-up, or should be, something so peaceful about just looking at them. i want my life to be long enough to learn how to spin. xo
