Wooden Spinning Tool: Design Mysteries Series
I found this tool on the floor of and abandoned factory on Crosby Street, NYC, probably in 1968. Along with this tool I found maple logs incased in wax that probably were used for tooling also, The maple cylinders were turned into a rocking horse’s head and body for Bekah.
The wooden spinning tool was probably used to create a prototype or a first try at a candle holder or maybe even an Egg Coddler top. I’m probably never going to find out but I love how the craftsman just picked up a random raw piece of wood and turned it into a tool. There is more story here than first meets the eye.
