Above, eye candy; included in the last batch of Rick Reeves Spinning Wheel hooks for a while are several signed hardwood hooks. Rick has another project and then will be away from the lathe for the summer. I’m posting photos to give everyone an idea of what will be listed soon. I will be listing some on eBay and some on Etsy.
There are SIGNED, unfinished oak hooks that have the tab that fits into the hole in the spinning wheel. They are unfinished so that they can be finished by the buyer to match their own spinning wheel. I will finish the hooks with Watco Danish Oil upon request.



SOLD There are initialed oak hooks finished with walnut stain (very light); note they also have the tab that fits in the hole in the spinning wheel:

And then the beautiful hardwood hooks … exquisite … nothing more to say:



Will announce on this blog when and where they will be listed for sale.

Lynn:
I don’t have a Reeves Frame Wheel. I suggest you look on on Ravelry and keep watching Craig’s List and eBay. While they are out of production, they show up every now and again.
As to the hooks… I expect to receive more from Rick Reebes and expect to be selling them in the fall (2011).

I had heard from another source that Rick Reeves was doing a little work on the side. I have one of his wheels, but the smallest whorl got lost. Is there some way to get in touch with him and see if he could make another for me?
Rick remains active and might be contacted through his presence on Ravelry.com Look for the Reeves Rock forum.
Rick maintains a presence on Ravelry.com Look for him there.
