Hello. I have a Cooper Normandy wheel that I purchased from the Woolery in 2001. This wheel was in their shop and I bought it while on a shop visit. I can vouch for the excellent craftsmanship and beautiful lines of this wheel. It also spins nicely. I contacted Carson after buying it and he made me a second whorl with lower ratios for bulky yarn, and several spare bobbins (the Woolery only had one cherry one in stock, and I didn't like the idea of using walnut ones on a cherry wheel). I prepaid 100% for the extra things and received them in a timely fashion.
Good luck! If you are near Phila, you can come see my wheel in Reading.
