New Maple Lacemaking Bobbins

by Peter Smith on November 4, 2008

I’ve been having quite busy few days trying out different woods - hard Maple this time. I only had a couple of blanks so there are just two of these lacemaking bobbins.

Maple is a hard wearing, heavy wood with a straight grain and fine texture. The heartwood is a light reddish brown, whilst the sap wood is almost white. It is not the easiest of woods to turn as it can have an irregular grain. These bobbins are made from the light sap wood and have a lovely creamy colour.
