Hello Fellow Lacemakers
My husband asked me to ask all of you this question.
Bone bobbins versus wood bobbins
While a lot of bobbins are turned in hard woods are not so easy to come by.
It takes a lot of time to grow the trees, where`as the bones are easier to
get, because most
Hello Daphne and everyone
There are some excellent Q and As at Kenn van Dieren's site:
http://www.bobbinmaker.com/faqbob.html
My quick answer is if bone was nicer to work with than wood, for the bobbin
maker, maybe we'd all be using more bone bobbins than wood bobbins. I prefer
wood though, any
This from a lace maker whose husband hand turns both bone and wood bobbins.
He uses hardwood, which is mainly recycled from old furniture, gate
posts, mantelpieces etc.,
or obtained locally when a tree has fallen in a storm or had to be
felled because it
was diseased, or obtained via
This question brought several thoughts to my mind.
Yes, trees take longer to grow than a cow, but there's a lot fewer earth
resources used in growing a mature speciman.
I understand it's harder or messier to turn bobbins from bone than wood. There
must be some reason that bone bobbins are so
Hi Daphne, Bev et al,
I do love bone bobbins, but I have heard Steven Pearce talk on making
bobbins several times, and as he makes only bone bobbins, it is a real
performance! He has all sorts of air filters in the garden shed where he
makes them, and also has a sort of mask-like job to put
And another thing to consider is that the trees absord carbon dioxide while
they are growing and the carbon remains trapped in our bobbins. Although there
is a fair bit of waste in the cutting into blanks and turning , I should
think that about a quarter to a third of the wood ends up as a
Hi Alice and all
To make one bone bobbin takes one cow leg, preferably a hind one as the
bone is thicker.
Normally the thigh bone is used.
That's why they are so expensive.

I have also heard Stephen Pearce talk. If I remember correctly, thanks to
the new regulations about slaughtering animals younger he can get a maximum of
4
bobbins from one leg - if he is lucky. He buys them from a slaughterhous by
something like the ton. He has to get the bone marrow out

My travel problems were on Sundays. I got up early and took the Metro to Gard

Sorry for the typo on Lepoglava lace last time. I have now seen Pauline's
example again, it is a bobbin part lace, with a ground of bobbin plaits
joining the separte motifs, but as it is mounted, we cannot see the back to
find out if the threads cross behind.
Our trip ended in the far
Hello Daphne my friend, and all spiders, re bone versus hard wood - I
have been told by John Cooper (bobbin maker at your lace day Daphne)
that the only bones that you can use are the leg bones so that might
make it a little bit harder to get hold of and they take a great deal of
preparation prior
I love the smooth silky feel of bone bobbins, - but can't afford them very
often, unfortunately.
Wood - well, I go for the feel of them, and go for the smooth silky feel, if I
have a choice.
The Acrylic bobbins have the nice feel that I like, too.
Isn't it a good thing we all like something
