More Handmade Weaving Boat Shuttles

I finally found a great source for hardwood besides oak and poplar not far from me called Hardwood products.  I made the trip on Tuesday and bought some Tiger/curly Maple, Hard Maple, Black Walnut and African Mahogany.  Some 2 inches thick which is perfect for shuttles.  I've made a new 9 inch shuttle out of Oak, Pine and now Black Walnut.  Today I'm planning on making one in Hard Maple.
Here are my new boat shuttles.  My new boat shuttle for an inkle loom.  They are rather thin with a beating edge.    Anyway here are my new handmade boat shuttles.  You can find Maple, Cherry and some Walnut at www.handywoman.etsy.com and if you like exotics you can find those at www.handywomanshop.com
