IMPORTANT NOTE: These Miniature Pagodas are made from natural sandalwood that is machined in Mainland China (lathe turned + laser cut) with an applied oil finish. Natural wood dries and warps, so the finish varies and they are not all perfectly round, although...
- The spindle is perfectly balanced upon assembly by using weights applied inside the bottom of the alloy whorl – giving it a fast, long, and lovely balanced spin!
Starting out its life as a Sandalwood essential oil diffuser, this lovely and intricately lathe turned and laser cut Sandalwood Pagoda adds a new flair to my jewelry style "Tahkli Style" support spindles. The pagoda is center drilled and five large (Shaft Color Matching) Preciosa Chzech crystal rhinestones are mounted to the screw-on base - along with a crystal AB bead spacer inside at the top. The pagoda is then mounted to its base, which is then mounted to powder-coat painted steel shaft with its heat forged hook - along with a satin gold plated alloy whorl, an antique gold plated pendant and a crystal AB spacer... then finished off (top and bottom sides) with antique gold plated and gold plated stainless steel findings. The spindle is BALANCED with cut weights placed inside the bottom of the alloy whorl to achieve a well balanced and long and fast spin that will be perfect for spinning cotton and other fine short and longer staple fibers,
- NO-HOOK OPTION: Comes with hook, but if you wish for one with NO HOOK, please add a note upon check-out and I will be sure to send it to you that way
