Working with Wool: Working Hard

[luvmypets]

I was gonna wait but I am too excited. We got an antique wheel from my moms step sister. We are going to get it looked at! It is in nice condition, and has almost all the parts.

Just cleaned it and polished it with steel wool and danish oil. The color is so nice Im going out for an hour so when I get home I will assemble it. There is no drive band and it is missing a few pieces so it may be a bit until it will be up and running. But while Im waiting I decided to pick up a drop spindle. Not gonna lie this spinning thing is quite addictive
