How 18th Century Flax Wheels Spin On (ft. My Country Craftsman Spinning Wheel)

I found a 13 spoke, signed J. Rooney Country Craftsman. I snapped her up so fast! Since I got her, I've been on a deep dive into 18th century American spinning wheels, the inspiration for the Country Craftsman, wheel maker Jerome Rooney's story, and trying to figure out where all the flax went. Let's get spinning!

To clean my wheel I used warm water to get the dust off, then Howard's Feed and Wax to care for the wood.
