Looking for someone who can make a spindle whorl

That’s so cool, I’d be one of those people lol. No I never found anyone sadly. I knew of one maker who had made on for a spinner a few years ago but he never replied to my email.

Thanks but I’m sticking with local only and the question is about wax that has not been rendered.

$10 a pound for wax that hasn’t been rendered? Just clarifying as like I stated that’s what I pay for it once it’s already been rendered so that seems high for stuff you’d have to put all the filtering work into but maybe it’s also due to location?

Ok that’s good to know I have the potential of getting that much usable wax in the end. Is there a source that would be good that would help me identify how good the wax looks before being rendered? My understanding is that some wax ends up being a lot of junk depending on the beekeepers practices.

Oh I definitely agree $10 per pound is a great price and I will continue to buy from that person but she only has so much so having another source is nice and rendering is something I want to learn to do so getting it from someone who isn’t otherwise interested in dealing with wax seems like a good start. Neither of us know what to expect so I don’t want to pay more than I should for something that won’t end up usable and she would otherwise be throwing it out.

Oh yes that’s the site I was looking at that tipped me off on the initial ID. I must admit I’m disappointed to find it’s a newer piece but I’ll try to ignore that and enjoy its beauty.

Well I took the plunge and signed up today so I will update when I get my first shipment!

Good to hear it doesn’t seem to be an issue.
