The Spanish Peacock
Spindle Storage Stand
Spindle Storage Stand
Introducing the Spanish Peacock spindle storage stand! We have always believed the best way to store a spindle is perfectly vertical, since even slight pressure on the shaft can introduce wobble. (The horror!)
The spindle storage stand measures 10.5" tall by 13" wide by 3.5" deep. The slim design allows it to quietly protect your spindles on a narrow ledge or bookshelf. The spindle storage stand holds five small-whorled spindles (like beads, Tibetans, etc.), or three large-whorled spindles (like a pu-yok or full-sized top whorl). It can accommodate shaft lengths of up to 9.5" from whorl to tip.
The base of the stand features small holes so you can also store supported spindles with a full cop safely upright.
The stand packs flat for shipping or storage. You can watch how to assemble the stand here. Note that the pieces should not be flexed in any way other than what is shown in the video or you may cause damage.
The stand can be taken apart as well, but we do not recommended doing this too often because the plywood may split after repeated pressure.
The Spanish Peacock spindle storage stand comes unfinished so you can stain, paint or otherwise embellish it to meet your needs. However, PLEASE wait until after assembly to do so, otherwise the wood may swell to the point where the pieces no longer fit together.
PLEASE NOTE: The spindles in the photos are for demonstration purposes only, and not included with the spindle storage stand. I mean, you probably already knew that but the lawyers made me add this disclaimer anyway.
If you have smaller diameter spindles, like Spanish Peacock pocket Russians, you may also wish to purchase these adapters to allow them to fit in the stand as well.
SHIPPING INFORMATION: While this item does pack flat for shipping, the dimensions require that it be shipped separately from most other items so we will be unable to combine shipping.
