I've just began carving some boat shuttles and turning some bobbins. I'm experimenting here to see which form, size and shapes I prefer. This one is similar to Leclerc's 15" boat shuttle and is side fed. I have a 60" wide loom as many of you know. I never realized how much yarn one could wind on a 6" bobbin. This one is not quite finished yet as I need to sand some burn marks from the cavity. I would also be considering drag on the bobbin or quill as was discussed on Frank's shuttle thread. I say this in advance so it's not neccessary to rehash it. And as Frank, I'm not trying to sell or push anything. ;)
