This is a new spindle design that I came up with.
It has roots in the Phang spindle definitely, but it also has some of the aesthetics of the italian drop spindle.
Both sides are pointy, which made me think of a thorn, hence the name.
From my experience, it is a little faster than my phangs. I of course recommend building your cop on the spindle belly for the better balance.
I ebonised and flame painted the spindle to achieve its darkness and play of shadows.
Wood: italian cherry
Weight: 30 grams
Lenght: 29 cm (11.5 inches)
