pocket wheel
back in december 2008, i fell in love with a wheel i came across while i was surfing the web. that wheel was the pocket wheel, by doug dodd, designed originally for his wife. at the time, she was very sick and she passed away the following year.
doug eventually turned over the pocket wheel to jon mccoy, who now makes these beautiful little wheels. jon is the one who took over doug's long waiting list and delivered my wheel to me in june 2010.
here is the pocket wheel side-by-side with my holiday wheel:
i spent that last several days sanding, applying beekeeper's gold (a natural beeswax and mineral oil blend), and buffing the cherry wood wheel.
i've just begun to spin on my new wheel and i am becoming acquainted with how she works. i'm very pleased to finally have her home!
