Drop Spindles

My wife has recently been getting into spinning using drop spindles.  My Mom passed on some roving and a rather large drop spindle for us to try out and after a while my lady wanted to try out different spindles.  So after a short trip to the hardware store I had the supplies I needed to make her some.  I used an oak dowel, a wooden truck tire, and a cup hook to make the spindles.  I ended up making a bottom and a top spindle.  As soon as the finish had dried, my wife took the spindles for a test spin and she like the weight and feel of them.
