Wheels that I own or did at one time:
 |
Teak Norwegian style wheel Harry made Norwegian style wheels of all sizes and out of many different woods. Given to Judith McKenzie to sell for funding her classes, Summer 2015. |
 |
Swiss Production Wheel in Walnut with Cocobolo highlights. Originally designed by Ernest Mason, his daughter Phyllis Mason made this wheel for me after Ernest passed away.
|
 |
This wheel is for sale. Click here for pictures. Shaker chair style wheel by Phyllis Mason. With interchangeable whorls this wheel has ratios of 1:4 to 1:16. Designed for two feet it is very easy to treadle. I always take this wheel with me when I go to Kindergarten classes. The little feet can treadle this wheel. This wheel is unstained oak but Phyllis and her father Ernest Mason made this wheel in oak, walnut or cherry. |
 |
This Van Eaton Fly N Tote was made of fiddleback maple wood. It's craftsmanship was wonderful but it did not fly as readily as I had hoped. It was heavy and stable though. |

Front and side view of the Ashford Scholar (1984-85 model) Portable wheel with a Scotch brake and nylon drive band. The treadle does not flip up but the wheel is very light and portable. Too bad they don't make this one anymore. It was a great little wheel for taveling and camping. |
 |
Pirtle Wheel made of Walnut. This wheel has two
flyers, hugh and even bigger. With very slow ratios and 1 1/2 inch orifice, this
wheel is idea for rug yarns and novelty. It is bobbin driven. |
