The Dervish

Tom Forrester has done it again.. His newest design is a duel-whorl (yes - 2
whorls) spindle with amazing aerodynamics which prolong the spinning time of
this incredible newest addition to his line of working pieces of art.
Participants at the 2007 SOAR conference in Michigan were asked to come up
with a fun name for this new Forrester spindle. The spindle name chosen was
"The Dervish".

"The Dervish" is a third generation version of the Tri-wing spindle design
now in the Geometric Series of Forrester spindles. First there was the
Tri-wing, then the Tri-wing/Granny, and now The Dervish with the
Tri-wing/Granny whorl on top and a smaller sub-whorl directly below it -
design evolution at work!
A variety of wood types/combinations and weights are now in stock.
