For sale: My absolutely fabulous Golding spinning wheel;
This stunning piece of art features some of the most amazing figured cherry I’ve ever seen, the wood shimmers in the light, and is just gorgeous! Not only is it beautiful, but it’s an incredible balanced machine that spins smoothly with no vibrations, and is nearly silent. It is in perfect, like new condition, and is only a couple of months old.
True double treadle drive system, easy to treadle with both feet, or only one. Effortless to keep moving due to the machined iron ring around the drive wheel. Every piece on this wheel is dynamically balanced and able to be minutely adjusted for a lifetime of perfect precision spinning.
Easy to switch ratios:
6:1, 8:1, 11:1, 17:1
sealed super high quality bearings on all moving parts, the wheel won’t ever need oil! The carry handle made of quality leather makes this wheel very easy to move around and the low height makes it easy to fit in any car!

Mr. Golding custom modified this wheel to create the on board lazy kate and I LOVE to ply with it, it’s super ergonomic and the tension system is very clever indeed. The kate rod is removable and it has extra end plugs to keep your bobbins from sliding off and to protect it in transit.
This wheel has the honor of being the first sold of its type, and is signed by Seth Golding and numbered #2 (first one created after the prototype), this wheel and her exceptional wood are featured on the Golding website as the model-the images seen on the site are of this very wheel.
She was purchased a few months ago in October of 2015 for $1,595 plus $125 shipping.
I am asking $1300
I will pay half the domestic shipping costs -or- travel up to an hour and a half away to meet you (I’m near to the Portland, OR metro area)
