Supported Spidles MirkwoodArts - Ready o Ship - with sun crystal in the crown

Description

This is Boromir, a member of the Fellowship of the Rings supported spindles. His angled cheekbones cut through the air for a smooth and sustained spin.
All Mirkwood spindles feature mithril Infiniti tip technology - a ball bearing in the spinning tip. Any given point of a sphere is almost infinitely small to give you the tiniest point of contact between the spindle and your spinning surface. As the tip is a sphere, no matter what angle you spin at you are always experiencing minimal contact between the spindle and dish, giving you a smooth, near-frictionless spin.
Mirkwood spindles come with two flicking tip options - crowned or pointed. The crowned spindles have a slender flicking zone topped by a flared tip in to which a genuine 4.8mm Swarovski crystal has been set. Mirkwood spindle users have reported that the crowned tip is just as easy to use as a pointed tip and the glittering crystal is beautiful to behold.
Boromir's whorl is made from Osage Orange with a shaft of hard maple.
