Turned Spinning Tops

These hand-turned spinning tops initially started as a turning exercise, experimenting with tools and processes on the lathe. But before long they became a minor obsession, finessing the forms and characteristics whilst also keeping the uniqueness of a hand-turned product.

Each of these wooden tops is turned by hand, giving every piece a unique character and nuance through the small inconsistencies inherent in handmade products. The sleek, simple design means this piece fits seamlessly into a modern environment, and the motion and tactility of a well-made top is as pleasing and addictive now as it was thousands of years ago.

These pieces also became an opportunity to experiment with product photography- allowing creativity and artistic license that can be harder with larger pieces.
