I love it! I love it! I love it! I think it looks wonderful, if I do say so myself. It's a dream to spin on. I love the double treadles. I can now start and stop the wheel with my feet instead of sticking my fingers in the spokes. I can't wait to show it off at the Thursday Spinners group.
This is the side if the spinning wheel I face when I'm spinning.
Another view off to the side.
This is the other side of the wheel.

I've asked a fellow in Manitoba to make me an unfinished yarn bowl out of wood so I can stain and paint it to match my Ashford Traveller aka Teal Wheel. He said he'll give me a price in a couple of days.

It is a thing of beauty and I am glad you have it done. Have you ever made stuff with natural dye. It is all the rage here where people have their own sheep. They charge the earth for it too.
It's beautiful. Is that the Canadian poppy?
Awesome!!!!
Wow! Ya dun good.
It's beautiful and I'm sure you're very proud. You should be! Take care, friend.
Can't say it looks like fun, but hey! Whatever works!
