*Please note that Cooper Spinning Wheels is an environmentally conscious enterprise and all materials used are chosen for low impact on Mother Nature. We no longer offer (or encourage) the use of polymer (plastic) bearings on bobbins, bronze is now our standard bobbin bearing material. We also use only North American and European woods with an effort to obtain sustainable harvested lumber when possible. Positively NO exotic, or rain forest, hardwoods will be used anywhere on our wheels. Please don't ask...
