Description

The Prelude wheel comes in your choice of unfinished, clear lacquer finish, walnut or mahogany finish. The price includes three bobbins, a threading hook, and an oil bottle. The Prelude is a small Saxony style wheel. Its small size makes it very portable, even with the Saxony styling.  It looks like an antique but has the efficiencies of a modern wheel. You’ll love the traditional woodturning and detail. The Prelude is a single treadle wheel. It is the smallest and lightest of the Saxony style wheels by Kromski.
