Why this one?
The Athena is my sleekest design, fully focused on weight distribution toward the edges. Where the Artemis draws its power from the core, the Athena gets its strength from its width. That’s what creates that endless spin time.
When playing with wood, I don’t just look for pretty combos; I look for pairs that level up each other’s traits. Like this spindle. The thinner arm is crafted from heavier wood than the thicker one, further optimizing the balance. Super nerdy, but if that’s your vibe: this is your go-to!
