Description
Massive core, maximum power. The Artemis Olive combines my second-heaviest wood with a design focused entirely on momentum. This is a powerhouse for spinners who love a powerful flow.
- The Vibe: Powerful, luxurious, and steady.
- The Wood: Olive wood is extremely compact. The erratic grain gives every spindle its own look, while the density provides a serious body.
- Match: Your go-to for a concentrated spin where the spindle’s weight does the heavy lifting for you.
Size & Weight (Olive)
Because olive wood is so heavy and the Artemis concentrates the mass in the center, this spindle feels incredibly powerful. Once it gets going, this spin is hard to stop. Perfect for those seeking control in a heavier tool.
Why Olive?
You choose olive for the combination of mass and aesthetics. Its weight provides a calm rotation that is immune to vibrations. In the Artemis shape, that mass gathers in the center for a spin that has momentum and lasts remarkably long.
The surface of olive is very smooth, yet it doesn’t feel like smooth metal. I always feel like you can sense the olive oil through the wood itself.
The design: Model Artemis
Named after the goddess of the hunt.
The Artemis is sleek and focused. While the Aphrodite is an all-rounder, the Artemis concentrates its mass in the core. This creates a powerful spin that brings calm to your flow; the spindle does the rest.
The details
- The Shaft: Hickory with the smart taper to keep your single in place.
