One of the most beautiful and precise wheels that I have ever seen was made by Thomas Golding. www.dropspindle.info
I've only seen a picture of "the Shepherd's Wheel" but now I want one! (and would love to have it made out of my favorite wood, padouk. I'll have to sell a lot of sheep to be able to afford one and need to build a new barn first before I start treating myself to fancy woodwork!)
Click on the link! It is a spinner's "eye candy"!!
He carved a wheel for Victoria Pettigrew (VIP Fibers) and instead of sheep, he carved her four dogs. I got to see it in action and WOW!! One little step on the treadle and off it went and kept going!
