Summer 2018 Hand made boat and Quill Shuttles FS

I have a few spare Boat and Quill shuttles created from a recently completed 2018 custom run plus a couple from last fall:

The boat and quill shuttles below (Canopus) are usually made up of 3 - 5 layers of figured hardwoods, typically combinations of bird’s eye maple, tiger maple (both hard maple and Red Leaf maple), maple burl, spalted maple, curly cherry, mesquite, ash burl, curly white oak, black walnut, buckthorn, quartersawn oak, koa, and honey locust. Shuttles are highly contoured and fine sanded to 2000-grit with 10 coats of finish applied. A 4mm polished stainless steel rod fits standard 4” plastic bobbins, and operates up & down using an internal spring mechanism. The 4mm rod also fits standard cardboard quills. Quill shuttles use a 3.5mm stainless rod. Included in this run are two Exhibition boat shuttles and three Exhibition double boat shuttles. Aside from having ornate cuts of wood, exhibition shuttles have an ebony or pink ivory inlay around the yarn slots. The spring mechanism slot on top is covered either with ebony (black) or pink ivory (red). Since each shuttle is hand made, no two are alike, and weight and dimensions can vary. In the shuttle descriptions below, see the shuttle weight, L, W, H, and length from the end of the cavity to the tip of the shuttle at either end (this is important to some weavers), and bobbin or quill length handled by shuttle (4” or 6”).
