It's a Harrisville Design 11" boat shuttle closed bottom with a 4" wooden bobbin. She has a strong odor, but the guys in production said it's not chemical, I'll air her out and see. I'm so excited, she needs a bit of sanding to smooth some wear, some oil and guess what; her maiden voyage will be on my new project hopefully the smell will be gone by then.Friday, June 18, 2010
My New Shuttle!! new to me ;)
I've been hunting on ebay for a boat shuttle for what seems to be evvvvvveeeeeerrrr! And of course I won't pay absurd shipping costs or pay new prices for a used item for that I'll just buy from the supplier direct IMHO (yeah, I'm cheap that way, but I have a budget I can't go over and I'm disciplining myself to be frugal and get a good deal for my money). My persistence and constant checking on line finally paid off. When I came back from lunch this was waiting for me at my desk, ain't she a beauty.

Nice shuttle
Beautiful! So happy for you!
Love the honey colour of the wood. Hope the odor goes away so that you can put it to work.
I love Harrisville's boat shuttles! I have several. They have a good heft to them and can just sail across the shed quickly. Congrats on getting one.
