| Duel-whorl
- 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".
