"Gigi's" Wheel The "sun burst" motif for this wheel was designed entirely by the customer. This is a lower priced wheel without carving, but has all the fine mechanics and engineering as any of our Triple Flyer spinning wheels. |

"Star" Wheel This wheel is a good example of collaboration between Tom and the customer. Working together, they came up with a "Star" motif for the wheel. It was built as a lower priced wheel without the carving. |

"Pinscher" Wheel This wheel was also designed in collaboration with the customer. The grace and beauty of this dog breed comes to life with Tom's finely sculptured figure head. Handcarved paw prints on the treadles are a finishing touch. |

"Canine" Wheel This wheel was designed and constructed for the business VIP FIBERS (Handspun yarn from your Very Important Pet). The owner's various dog breeds are represented and handcarved for the wheel and figurehead. |
