This classic hardwood American-made shuttle fills a wonderful niche not covered by our array of Swedish-made shuttles. It is deep and long and heavy with an open bottom. This makes it an excellent choice for heavier yarns and wider warps. It can also be used with finer yarns as well, and will hold a lot of mileage to keep you weaving for a long time before needing to wind a new quill. The wide slot, edged with protective little metal tines, keeps the weft yarn feeding out of the shuttle smoothly and with very little resistance, protecting your selvages from pulling in too much.
