Snyder Destiny 3 Turkish Drop Spindle
$30.00Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageMade by our friends at Snyder Spindles, the Destiny 3 is a hybrid variable weight Turkish spindle. It is made of 3D printed plastic arms, hand turned hardwood shafts and steel screws. This is an unusual combination; the rubber like plastic is used for durability, wood for rigidity and feel, and steel for weight. The combination of these materials allows for the mass to be on the outside of the spindle, to increase duration of the spin. This is a complete redesign of what a Turkish spindle could be.
