One of the things I love about tatting is the feel of a beautiful shuttle in my hand, and the best wooden shuttles give me a warm, comforting feeling, as if the wood itself is confident it will take care of my thread. This shuttle by David Reed Smith is one of the finest wooden shuttles I have had the pleasure of handling.
It is handmade of white oak, and at 2.25″ long is a very comfortable fit in my hand. The tips come together very nicely on both ends to a satisfying ‘click’ ‘click’ sound.
David generously sent me a shuttle to play with myself, along with this one to give away. I’ve enjoyed tatting with it to see what it can do.
What surprised me most is that it is extremely light. The shuttle is about the same proportions as the plastic Clover brand shuttles, though just a little smaller, and remarkably even a little lighter than those cheap plastic ones.
Even though it is so light weight, it is no lightweight. This is a sturdy wooden shuttle that will stand up to years of use.
I appreciate that David has polished not only the outside, but the inside and post with a glaze so that it won’t catch and fray the thread. Speaking of thread, it can hold a generous eight yards of size 20 before bulging out at the sides.
The shuttle has a pick on one end, and I must say it has been very effective. I’ve been trying a new technique and so have had ample opportunity to take out stitches, yet didn’t pull out my regular pick once. However, with very small threads the pick might be too thick to accurately pick out single stitches.
David also makes tatting shuttles in cherry, holly, maple, walnut, purpleheart, tulipwood, and many more varieties of domestic and exotic woods. He can make them with or without spikes, or with a built-in brass spike.
As if this weren’t enough, David also makes tools for tatters including nifty pen-like retractable crochet hooks, and picks that reverse into a cap. He has a beautiful needle case, and a nifty combination magnifying glass and crochet hook. Most of these can be put on a necklace for easy access, and can be made in a variety of woods.
Buy your own! Take a look at David’s skilfully made shuttles and tools, and pick out a matching set. At a very reasonable $17 to $26 for a shuttle (depending on size and features) and only $15 to $30 for the different tools, these are priced so you can treat yourself even on a modest budget.

The walnut shuttle is beautiful and I would LOVE to win one. Thanks for the opportunity to enter this awesome giveaway.
I love the look of the shuttle and would love to win it to try I have had several wooden shuttles but think this one would be betyter to use.
Madge
What beautiful shuttles! I have always loved the look of cherry wood, so would definitely choose his birdseye cherry shuttle. I have never entered a blog giveaway, but the shuttle is too beautiful to pass up the chance.
Thank you for all of the work that you have done on the Absolute Beginner’s Series, you have done a fantastic job of the tutorials and I am having a lot of fun practicing your lessons.
Heather
Heather, you are very welcome. I am so glad you are getting a lot out of the series.
I have to admit I have been drooling over these shuttles for months! Maybe even obsessing a little. I’ve even had dreams Where I am tatting using one of his 3″ purple heartwood shuttles with a brass tip and matching tools. I plan on buying a set for my one year “tativersary” at the end of October. I figure then I’ve stuck with my new obsession for a year I deserve a treat!
Jeannie, that sounds like a great plan. Wow, a year tatting! Keep it up you lacy lady you. 😉
David Reed Smith’s shuttles were the first ones I collected, and they are a joy to use! My favorite wood on his site is birdseye maple. I would love to win another of his wonderful shuttles! Thanks for making this opportunity available. Some lucky tatter is going to be in tat heaven!
Ohhh I’ve just been looking at David’s site in recent weeks and thinking – maybe I should try one as I’ve heard only good things about his shuttles… so I’d love to win one.
Many thanks for all the work you do on your absolute beginner series – I blogged last night after over a 12 month hiatus from it and I recommended you to my readers if they wanted to learn to tat!

It would be the Holly for me and with the wooden pick and I’d probably say 3 3/8″ size. I love the feel of a wooden shuttle in my hand.
Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these gorgeous shuttles.

Thanks again for a great giveaway!
Wonderful! Thanks for the opportunity to enter. White oak is one of the DRS shuttles I have never used.
Fox : )
This is an amazing chance! Thank you David and Heather!
I have never had the opportunity to try David’s tools, but I have only read great things about them (and I have done quite a bit of reading about tatting!)
I am most intrigued by purplewood shuttles – with brass spike, because that sounds really luxurious!
And, congratulations on your site. I love the professional look, the thorough explanations are clear and useful. It is sure to be a reference for years to come!
I just announced the giveaway in the Spanish tatting group. I am not sure if you can see the post without logging in, though, but you can ask other members 😉

I have looked at and drooled over these shuttles for a while.
I would love to have a 2 1/2″ purpleheart shuttle with the wooden spike.
To feel the wood warm in my hands as I tatted would be amazing.
P.S. Thanks for all the tutorials I have learned a lot. The most important thing was that I was winding my shuttles in an odd way and your tut showed me a much better way. Thanks again.
These shuttles are beautiful woods, and very original
I’d love to enter – walnut is my preference but I’d take anything!!
I looked at the shuttles and saw a beautiful wood that I fell in love with…..
Tchitola…since I am new to shuttle tatting, I am not sure yet if I prefer shuttles with or without a pick…..but all of the shuttles look lovely.
I noticed he has needle cases but they are not long enough for needle tatters….wish it was.
Funny you should mention the needle cases because i just sent him an email with that very idea!
I like the sapelle, padouk and zebrawood shuttles but they are all very lovely and if i had the moneys to blow i would definitely get one of each, especially the “easter egg” 🙂
Las navetas son preciosas y en su página hay cosas muy bonitas e interesantes,no dejaré de visitarla con frecuencia .Que alegría me daría me tocara la naveta en España no hay esas cosas tan bonitas y seria todo un lujo trabajar con ella.Muchos saludos desde España.
Hi Louine! Have you ever seen the chocolate covered sunflower seeds(according to the label: mysunnyseeds.com)? They come in a long plastic case, like a really long (8″) tictac case. Looks perfect for tatting needles. At least, until you get a nice wood one. I meant to bring one with me to Palmettos but forgot.
Thank you for the lovely giveaway. I’ve only ever tatted with plastic shuttles, I’m interested in the wooden ones now. I’ve fallen in love with the tulipwood shuttle. Though all of them are beautiful. He is a talented artist. I’ll have to look his tools some more.
I put notice on Needle tatting site…..some of the members there are both needle and shuttle tatters
http://needletatting.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=645
WOW! David has some absolutely beautiful shuttles!!! I love all the woods, but my favorite has to be the rosewood. I have a piano made of rosewood that I got when I was 7 years old. I have had it now for 44 years. I just love his crochet hooks with the tops on them! I am definitely gonna have to check into getting one. It is so nice of him to send you a shuttle to giveaway!
Blessings,
Diane
I like the purpleheart with a pick. I love the size of my clovers but would like to own a fancier shuttle.
This is great to know where I can find some of the tools I have been looking for.
Thanks for the opportunity as well!
This is a delightful giveaway, so count me in.
I’d love to enter! Sycamore is my favorite.
Hallo , never had the oportunity to tat with a wooden shuttle.So these look geaorgous to me, would love to win any to try them out! By the way the most favorite one for me is the maple one, looks so natural. I have no twitter accound for tatters, so I have to open one to twitter with you all. Good look to everyone here to win!
Lovely Shuttles! I have never seen a wooden shuttle in person but the pictures are gorgeous ! I love wood of all types and I bet these feel wonderful. Congrats to who ever wins it!
Even though I’ve been tatting for many years, I have not worked with a wooden shuttle, but would love to try one! These shuttles are so lovely!!!
I want a lacewood one, for the name alone. Ooh, or the 3 tools in 1 (get 2 crochet hooks & a stilleto). Sewicked@gmail.com

I love wood. Especially dark wood. I have been drooling over David Reed Smith’s shuttles since I heard of it. I just couldn’t decide which one to get. I like purpleheart, East Indian Rosewood, Tchitola, Koa, Kingwood, Goncalo Alves.
Thanks for the chance to own a DRS shuttle.
I love the wooden shuttle. I am a new tatter and i am learning needle tatting ,and shuttle. I like the shuttle the best ,so i would love to win a wooden shuttle.

Hi,
thanks for chance to win! I have two shuttles from David and I love them both, but I think I need more ;-))
In the previous post I forget to write that I love this one on your image.. I have no one with pick and I would like to try it 😉
I wrote about your giveaway on czech forum:
http://diskuse.dama.cz/diskuse.php?d=15393
I’d love to win a shuttle. He makes so many beautiful tatting accessories.
I’m a sucker for purplewood. But I wouldn’t turn any of these down! My tatting shuttle collection is growing, but I don’t have one of David’s shuttles yet.
I love all of David Reed Shith’s shuttle. But the walnut and kingwood are the one’s I like the best.
I posted on my blog about the giveaway.
I entered it in my lace group. I don’t know if you can see it as it is invite only.
Would love an kingwood or East Indian rosewood shuttle. Already own one of David Reed Smith’s very small crochet hook/picks & use it all the time.
There are several beautiful woods he uses. I especially like Tchitola. I’d never heard of that wood before.

Yes! Sign me up! What a wonderful opportunity. Thanks so much!
I recently found your excellent tutorials on YouTube and now just heard about your giveaway on In Tatters. I’ve heard so many lovely things about David Reed Smith shuttles, it would be wonderful to have the chance to own one. Thank you for doing the giveaway!
These are amazing! It was very difficult to chose one. But I think the most beautiful is the one made with zebrawood. Thanks for the giveaway :)) I let my friends know about it.
I d like to thank you for the chance to win, all shuttles are wonderful! My favorite is in the aukcion the flower and the butterfly. From the wood list I would like shuttles from Pommele Bubinga wood. I share this info about the giveaway in our lace group.
Thank you for this awesome giveaway! The shuttles are very nice, my favourite is from the Sapelle wood. I will let my lace friends know about this site.
I love the grain of the Red Gum. The drop spindles also look lovely (just got back into spinning 🙂 It would be lovely to win this, thanks to both you and David for the giveaway.

Blogged about the giveaway! http://willardofcats.blogspot.com/2011/09/backlog-giveaway.html
This is a wonderful opportunity, thank you.
Padouk is quite lovely. I would also want a shuttle without a spike. I have a couple of Aero shuttles but would also want to get some without hooks as second shuttles to have.
Wow! Thank you and David both for doing this. I’ve admired DRS shuttles for years, but so far have not been successful in convincing my DH to allow me to order one. Any wood is okay with me, although I really like the idea of the purple heart. But that’s just some romantic foolishness because of an association I have with Dragon Heart, so the wood doesn’t really matter. However, the size is very important. My hands are more comfortable handling one about the size of the classic Boye post shuttles, which are about the same size as the Sew Mates, only with a straight pick instead of curved.
I would love to win a Shuttle, I like the zebrawood.
I have enjoyed all the information you have given everyone.
Can’t believe that I can make simple rings and some picots!
Thank you for all the work you put into this site!
I love DRS shuttles and would love to win one.
I would choose a cherry 2 1/2 inch with a point. Thank you for having such a wonderful giveaway. Thanks to David also.
I tweeted from @knotenough.
Thanks
I tweeted this but don’t know how to grab the link on my iPad. My twitter name is @Neeneral.
I would choose the Bridseye Maple in a 2 1/2 inch shuttle with a point. I’m also diggin’ the retractable crochet hook, very cool and handy.
I have a holly wood shuttle made by Sally Kerson’s “I’m in the garage” and I love it! The feel of wood is wonderful for tatting and David Reed Smith’s shuttles look so beautiful. My favourites are probably the bird’s eye maple and the zebrawood- although the purpleheart is in the running too. Thanks for sharing the skills of talented shuttle-maker!
David does such wonderful work. I just love everything.
Thanks Marie for showing this beautiful shuttle to me!
First, I’d like to thank you for a wonderful opportunity to win a wooden shuttle from David Reed Smith Shuttles. I’ve read many good things about them from other tatters. If I win I’d love a shuttle made from either lacewood or zebra wood. Both are gorgeous! I would love a retractable hook for the tatting tool… perfect!
I’m a fairly new tatter – started with bobbin shuttles this year and soon discovered that I like a post shuttle better. I have Clover and Lacis shuttles and find I like the Clover size shuttles the best.
I tweeted this… but I don’t know how to grab a copy of it to show you. I also just ‘followed’ TattedTreasures on Twitter immediately after posting. Do you need my username for Twitter to see the tweet or is there some way to forward it to your feed on twitter? (I’m not all that familiar with how Twitter works…)

As a second entry in the contest, I think the Walnut shuttles are gorgeous, and I think I would want one with a brass pick on it.
This contest is pretty fantastic.
I have been drooling over David Reed Smith shuttles and accessories since I started tatting 2 years ago!
I’m saving up to buy the Koa wood Dual Reversable Tool (either Koa or Birdseye Cherry. They are BOTH gorgeous. (unless someone gets it for my upcoming birthday…I turn 55 in Oct!!)
I would be honored to win a shuttle in either wood; or ANY wood…..I’m really not picky, but they said mention our preference.)
Thank you for offering us the change to win a workable piece of art!

Que preciosa!!! pues claro que me gustaria tener esta naveta,seguro es maravilloso el tacto de esta madera en los dedos haciendo nuditos.
Y dede luego cumplire con las condiciones.
I’m very attracted to the dark woods, and one in the Indian Rosewood seems a fine idea! Thanks for the fab giveaway chance.

I love all of David’s tatting equipment. I especially like the only thing I already have – a retractable hook. It is super because I can’t lose it while wearing it round my neck and because it is retractable it doesn’t catch on my jumpers. I would love to own any of his shuttles.
hi !! this giveaway sounds amazing.. I have never tried tatting with an wood shuttle.. thanks!!!
The shuttles are beautiful! I would have a hard time deciding between the Rosewood, the Tulip or even the lilac!! I could ask for these from Santa – never too early to start dropping hints!
But to win one – how special is that!
I haven’t been tatting very long, but I have long loved the craft. My grandmother was a tatter and I have some of her pieces which I treasure. My tatting is just the beginnings, but I enjoy working on it and it is so portable!!!
I visited Davids pages and.. all is great! Most I like tatting accessories, it is impossible buy something like this in our coutry. Necklace with a hook would solve my problems with using hook in the train – now I must tat with bobbin shuttle because of them (there are no other shuttles with hook in czech republic). And wooden shuttle – I must admit that I have never hold one. It must be great working with it.
Thanks for chance to win.
They are beautiful – the walnut catches my eye, and the oak + maple
(must we choose just one?)

thx!
It’s beautiful! I absolutely LOVE working with handmade wooden shuttles.
Comment #1: After perusing David’s site, I have to say that the shuttle wood that stood out to me most was the Sycamore. It’s so pure and delicate looking. and For accessories? I loved the little Needle Case with Threader.
There are just too many choices at his website. The shuttles are lovely, I particularly like the sapelle wood although I have always liked walnut. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a beautiful shuttle. I am sure they are a joy to tat with.
Beautiful shuttle – enjoy your blog. Keep it up. Robert, from northern Iowa.
Es maravillosa esta naveta.En España aún no he encontrado ninguna.Me pondría muy contenta teniéndola.Besos desde España.
Comment #2 coming your way… I’ve mentioned your giveaway on my blog
Wow!! Those shuttles are fantastic! As a new tatter, I would certainly feel like I had ‘arrived’ if I were fortunate enough to win one of his shuttles. Thank you both for providing the chance.
Mary(Mimi)
All his shuttles and tools are beautiful! The lacewood looks really interesting to me, especially. The woodgrain is something I’ve never seen before.
Thank you for having a giveaway! Hard to believe that the walnut shuttle is as light as a plastic one. I’d love to have one to try out for myself (hinty hint hint hint)
After drooling over them all….I love the walnut shuttle.
I tweeted about the giveaway
What a generous give away!
I love the look of the Paldoa Shuttle and I like spikes but I would like any of Davids treasures.
Would love to win this beautiful shuttle. I rather liked the Birdseye Cherry and the lovely crochet hooks too!
I’m not sure which one I like best. I’m finding it very difficult to chose just one. I’m partial to the cherry because my Jensen spinning wheel is made out of cherry and I like the bird’s eye maple because my grandfather made me a jewelry box out of the wood. I also like the colors of the Koa and the Tulipwood. Too many choices!
Oooo.. I have loved David Reed Smiths shuttles for soooo long but, have yet to own one. I love the rosewood and purple heart best and want one with a spike at the end. I would love to get the needle case and magnifying glass to match some day. Oh and I might just as well add to my wish list one of the crochet hooks too. LOL Please enter me in the give away and I will be posting this on my blog and also on face book.
These shuttles are gorgeous, I would love to have one to tat with!!! I think I like the walnut the best, with the brass tip…and maybe a little bigger, I would like something that holds a bit more thread than my clovers for some projects. If I had the chance, of course, I would have one in every wood and style 🙂
It would be honored to own one of his shuttles. They are all so pretty.
I have been looking David Reed Smith shuttles for a while. I want a lacewood in one of the bigger sizes. . . And one of the crochet hooks too. Would love to win this one so I could try it before I buy my own.
I love the sycamore shuttle and the cherry shuttle. It would be really cool just to own one of them. Especially since I only have one shuttle right now, so I can try. And I have a new website to shop off of as well.
Of course, I couldn’t help myself and wandered over to the drop spindle section and found a goregous Susan drop spindle.
Since you asked for things to be in seperate comments, I also want to say that I tweeted about this as well. I hope I got the coding right for that link.
I had one of David’s shuttles but I must have the strength of hercules, it broke 🙁
Thank you David and Heather for a chance to own another of David’s shuttles !
Have now posted the picture of the shuttle and linked it back to this blog on mine!

David’s shuttles were the first special shuttles I purchased after I learned to tat. Mine have the wood spike, and because I use the pic alot, I’m afraid to use them for fear of damaging the spike ….. So I often look at his page, and wish for one of the brass spike tip ones, and because our daughter’s name is Holly, I always think I’d get it in holly-wood.

Wonderful! I love tatting, and your shuttles are so pretty… I would be pleased to win one.
They are all beautiful- the shuttles’ clean, simple lines are very pleasing. I like the cherry- love how cherry warms as it ages!
I’ve never worked with a wood shuttle and would be excited to win this. His shuttles have a wonderful reputation.
They are beautiful shuttles. I have always wanted a tatting shuttle made out of purpleheart wood. I also like the dual tool. Tami in WA

The zebrawood is my favorite because my first shuttle was zebrawood. And with a pick – I guess I will have to buy both a brass and wood pick to see which I really like the best. Thanks so much for give away
I just started tatting as a new craft to add to my growing list of crafts that I do. David’s shuttles are wonderful, I would love to have one. I would also love to learn how to make shutttles myself as I love working with wood. Maybe some day, but for now its a daydream…. Lisa
Since I live in a hot and humid climate, I choose purpleheart – David’s site says this has high stability!
I’ve always just used Clover shuttles and recently started to use some Bakelite and Bone shuttles. I’ve never tried using Wooden ones.
All the shuttles by David Reed Smith looks lovely. To win any one would be a dream!
I would love to win the the Cherry shuttle as that is my favorite wood.

Birdseye Maple is one of my favorite wood. Thank you for a chance!

So many…how will I choose. You do beautiful work David and I hope I can do one of them justice by creating beautiful things with it.
Oh, the cherry wood shuttle! Gorgeous! I just love cherrywood. Thanks for the chance to win
I have to choose just one? Anythings better than my rusting metal shuttles LOL. Seriously I would choose cherry or rosewood, I also love the 2 inch with a spike. 😀
how beautiful! I adore the variety of looks the different woods give off. The Rosewood is gorgeous. When we lived in the islands curly mango was one of my favorite woods. Off to oogle more at his site. Sorry, not a tweeter or i would!

I posted information about this giveaway on my blog–knotenough.graci.org.
I love the purpleheart. I am a purple fan and even my hair is purple. My grandmother taught me to tat over 40 years ago and this would make a wonderful addition to my tatting life. Thanks for a great give-away.

I think the Zebrawood is beautiful and would love to work with it. Thanks.
The Zebrawood and Purplewood both caught my eye. They were all beautiful. It would be lovely to win one. Sorry I don’t Tweet or blog.
Wow! What a great website and a great giveaway! I would love to have the shuttle. Dianne
I use to do “Tatting” many years ago, I had actually forgotten about it. I would love to win this prize, and remind myself on how to do it again.
Thanks for this chance to win it. xx
Every single item is beautiful, but I am rather drawn to the padouk shuttle.
I’d love 1 2.5 inch curly maple one with a brass spike – so lovely!
Thank you for doing this….
Wow. All of David’s shuttles are awesome. If I were to win, it would have to be a curly maple one. Thank you for sponsoring this great giveaway!
I love the beautiful East Indian Rosewood shuttle. I only have plactic shuttles to use,as that is all that is available where we live. Wood shuttles have that feel of an old friend. Thanks.
Please consider me for the beautiful shuttle!
It’s so hard to make a choice, everything David has is wonderful! But I think a 2 1/2 inch with brass spike in Lacewood would be just lovely.
You have a wonderful site here.
This is one thing i would like to learn. I crochet and have been for many years now. Is this hard to learn?
Maxine, it is not so difficult to learn if you have a good teacher. Check out my Absolute Beginner tutorials and see if they can help.
I think the Kingwood shuttle is absolutely stunning! Thank you for an opportunity to win such a beautiful product!

I’d love a chance to enter!!
I’m drawn to the Purplewood – looks so beautiful 🙂
Thanks!
The holly shuttle is gorgeous! I’ve never had the opportunity to tat with a wooden shuttle, but it looks like it would be nice to tat with.
Hi Thank you for this give-away! I would love the East Indian Rosewood shuttle, it looks so pretty, I just moved to a new home that has red hardwood floors throughout and this would match them perfectly!
I would love a cherry wood with a 2 and a half inch wood spoke . I would love to tat with a wooden shuttle. Mine is metal. Thank you for the chance to win one.
Beautiful! I just got into tatting about a year ago, and the more I explore, the more I realize it’s a thriving art! These shuttles are beautiful. I really like the simplicity of the Sycamore, but I think, for my dad, I’d get a Purple Heart. Honestly, any one of them would be a pleasure to own. And, you’re right, they’re quite affordable. I think I know what to put on my birthday wish list! Now if I can just master that ‘click’ ‘click’ rhythm.
Lefty Tatters Unite!
Lori, welcome to the club! Have you seen my lefties ds video? Pass it on when you meet any beginning lefty tatters.
WOW all of the shuttles are beautiful. What wonderful work. I loved the birdseye maple shuttle
The Narra wood or cherry wood shuttles are gorgeous to me and the 2 3/4 with a spike would be awesome!!
I just love his pommele wood shuttles, both of them. They look so exotic and different. Thanks for the giveaway.
Ah, David Reed Smith shuttles are so beautiful! I would love the chance to win this one. I’m kind of taken by cherry and walnut, but can one choose just one wood? No, one cannot. Eventually I hope to build a collection, because wood is definitely my favorite shuttle material.
Oh, I have found a new love. I have been studying this website and am really intrigued with tatting. I really love the cherry wood. I have done many things but have never thought about tatting until now and have looked at the tutorials and would love to start.
Thank you for offering the shuttle.
Sandy, do give tatting a try. It is so much fun! and you get to play with beautiful shuttles.
I tweeted! @callmebliss
Looking at the site, the Rosewood is simply divine; it would be fantastic to have such a gorgeous tool, and even better to have one that matches my favorite knitting needles. 🙂
I wrote about the giveaway on my G+.

What wondeful choices! I love the grain and color of the Paldoa wood, and would love to have a shuttle in that wood.
I visited the David Reed Smith website, and I fell in love with the Sycamore tatting shuttle. I sure would love to win one – so count me in!
Las navetas son unas maravillas mejor aun cuando son hechas de madera natural, me encantaria tener una, ya que por donde vivo traen solamente de plasticos, felicitaciones por tan lindo afecto
I would choose the Cherry wood shuttle! 🙂
The shuttle is beautiful and I would love to win one. The crochet hooks are also beautiful. I must share it with my friends at the center I’m sure they’ve never seen anything like it. I is a beautiful work of art!
Your woodwork is beautiful! I would love to have the Cherry Tatting Tool. For some time I have wanted to learn to tat. This along with your tutorials for beginners will be a great help. Thank you for the opportunity to be included in this generous giveaway.

Mary, good luck with the giveaway! Tatting is fun and easier than it looks. Let me know how I can help.
David Reed Smith shuttles are the best……………
I love the zebra wood shuttle. I also like the retractable hook necklace! Got my fingers crossed that I might get lucky and win this!
I love oak…and the addition of the brass hooks is lovely! So beautiful!

what a beautiful shuttle – I have looked at David’s site before & his work is amazing
I love the East Indian Rosewood and the Tulipwood. My mother was just mentioning that she wanted to learn to tat. I see a perfect Christmas present!
This is so hard!
Although I love the deeper coloured woods, I find I am drawn to the idea of Holly. It’s simple and plain and it grows in my garden. I like the idea of a “domestic” shuttle.
Thank you.
David has some remarkable shuttles. It is hard to choose between the white oak, the tulipwood, the rosewood and the cherry. I would be glad to have any one of them…but I would prefer to have them all, lol. I will have to point these out to my daughter as potential Christmas gifts,
Hugs, Shari

This one is especially pretty! thanks to David and Tatted Treasures for this giveaway!!! Happy Tatting!
How can I choose ONE wood! I love them all. He can just pick one for me and mail it to me.
I think his sense of humor is way too close to mine. Perhaps we are twins and neither of our sets of birth wanted to tell us since they kept us!
Since I tat a lot of beads, may finish a project one day, it would be nice to have a shuttle that will not let the beads slide off onto the thread until you want them! I love Nina Lieben’s work but the tiny beads can drive you crazy(er).
His web page is a little out of date as his last update was on “9/1311”. Apprently, he is ahead of his time when he did that OR is time travel possible?
I would love to see a ring untatted. Opening a closed ring make brain surgery for the DIY look simple. This is very true on tiny thread. Even a magnafying glass does not help me. I have tatted for seven years and plan to finish a project one day.
As for the shuttle, I have alread done a comment so it is OK to not count this as an entry.
Me encanta la naveta y me gustaría ganarla!!!!!!!!!!!!! muchas gracias
