These high-capacity shuttles are useful when weaving with rag strips or bulky yarns such as mohair or rug yarn. Ski shuttles are often used interchangeably with rug shuttles. Our ski shuttles are low-profile at only 3 cm tall and will easily pass through narrow sheds.
\nThe runners of our ski shuttles are steam-bent to a gentle, smooth curve. Steam-bending is more complicated and time-consuming than simply cutting the runners to a curved shape, but steam-bending produces runners that are more elegant and significantly stronger for their weight. Following the bending process, the runners are thoroughly dried and then sanded and buffed to such smoothness that they will literally ski through your warp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Terry Lavallee and Kristie Sherrodd began Bluster Bay Woodworks as a small, family-operated business in 1985, and They continue to operate today from their home, wood shop and retail store\/weaving studio in Sandpoint, Idaho.
\nAt Bluster Bay Woodworks, each item is made one-at-a-time, by hand. They begin with the finest imported and domestic hardwood. Each variety of wood we use is selected for its combination of beauty, strength and durability. The wood supply changes frequently because they are constantly on the lookout for interesting woods.<\/p>\n
They buy lumber in rough slabs, often with the bark still attached, and then carefully cut each piece to expose the best color and grain. Sanding is a long and careful process ending with a finish of satin smoothness that is then sealed with clear shellac. After drying for several days, each item is hand-buffed with steel wool, waxed, and then buffed again. This process results in tools that are silky smooth. Each has a luster and warmth and is a delight to the touch.
\nEach design is tested extensively before it is offered for sale. The result: useful tools that have elegance and lasting beauty.
\nOnce you have had a Bluster Bay shuttle in your hands you don\u2019t want anything else. http:\/\/blusterbaywoodworks.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[712,426],"product_tag":[539,508],"class_list":{"0":"post-8321","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-ski","6":"product_cat-weaving-accessories","7":"product_tag-rag","8":"product_tag-tasmanian-blackwood-cherry-en","9":"product_shipping_class-pakket-en","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"taxable","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenhaand.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenhaand.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenhaand.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenhaand.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenhaand.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=8321"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenhaand.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8321"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenhaand.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
