- Description
- Handmade wheels are made by hand by a single (maybe two) skilled wheelmaker, often one wheel at a time for each customer. The vast majority (if not all) of the work on these wheels will be done by hand, including jointing, turning, and carving. This level of detail and the custom nature of the tool means you are able to make specific choices, both functionally and aesthetically, to fit what you want to spin and to appreciate from an artistic perspective. Article discusses factors to consider when choosing a wheel.
