Why Olive ash-Cherry?
My mixed spindles happen spontaneously when I see two pieces of wood that complement each other visually. In this Aphrodite, the Olive Ash provides sleek lines, while the Cherry adds a soft warmth. Since I don’t make these in series, every piece is a true original.
The design: Model Aphrodite
Named after the goddess of love and beauty.
The Aphrodite is my most versatile model. The weight is well-distributed, ensuring a very forgiving spin. In this size 2 version, you get a spindle that feels very natural and features beautiful curves.
