Detailed Description

Bluster Bay shuttles are back in production! New owner, Justin, trained with Terry before taking over the business so that he could guarantee the high quality of woodworking that Bluster Bay has always been known for.

The 13" open bottom shuttle is a side-delivery shuttle. It has a spring-loaded bronze spindle that accepts a 4" bobbin. Bluster Bay recommends Schacht bobbins but other styles work as well. The largest of the Bluster Bay traditional boat shuttles, at 13" long, this shuttle is ideal for larger projects like blankets. It fits comfortably in your hand and the smooth, satiny wood surface is a pleasure to handle. The open bottom allows a little extra room in the shuttle chamber for you to use a very full bobbin and reduce splicing.

Bluster Bay shuttles come in a variety of woods, both exotic, like those above, and domestic. They are produced in limited quantity and the wood types vary with each shipment so if you don't see your dream shuttle today, be sure to check back later.

Dimensions vary, as each shuttle is hand made, but typical measurements are 13" long x 1.75" wide x 1.25" tall. The weight ranges from 5-7 ounces.
