Hi all, hope you like it, our Spinning Wheel, happy rendering. Sharen :-)

Cheers Sharen, very nice and detailed.

Oh wow, this is outstanding Sharen. Thanks.. Hats off to you. :O)

Excellent detail. Thanks.

Beautiful!! Thanks very much Sharen and Mike. :) Irene

Wonderful model, but as a person who spins in real life, can I make 2 comments? The first is a simple one, the spinning stools in both models look like they are sitting at the back of the wheels. The second and most imporant is that the "mother-of-all", the buisness end of the wheel is missing a "flyer". This is a "U" shaped thing that goes around the bobbin and allows the actual spinning to take place. It also allows the finished yarn to wind onto the bobbin while you are spinning. If you care take a look here and there are some good pictures (http://www.ashford.co.nz/spinning.htm). Now the previous comment can be ignored if this is meant to be a spindle wheeel (like the one that Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on). If that is the case, you need a "spike" projecting fron the front of the bobbin. The Disney movie got it soooo wrong, showing her pricking her finger on the distaff. Which is a "stick" used to hold unspun fiber, generally flax. And flax makes linen thread. And I drift! But then, only a person like me would notice the missing piece and realy care. Thank you again for a wonderful model. Philip

Well I think you might not be seeing the whole model. We got these instructions from pictures we took the day we saw it and from some research, we do have a flyer wheel and the stool is poseable, you can move it, in the first picture we just moved it out of the way so you could all see the Spinning wheel. We are missing one small wheel, but this is most of where we got our info. Hope this helps clarify this model. Sharen

Oh yes and we did not put the little hooks in for the thread only because we do try to save on polygons, seeing we thought no one would render a close up picture. But as you can see we are missing the hooks, spool and one small wheel. Sharen :-)
