We live near Grants pass and them both being wood workers they met and struck up a conversation. One thing led to another and somehow he ended up buying two of Joe's wheels. The one we still have is myrtlewood.Mamasanleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953586428199822749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15874916.post-1080466151835254952013-05-24T20:51:50.258-07:002013-05-24T20:51:50.258-07:00I just got a Joegensen wheel.

It looks a lot like yours but the wood is not finished (or maybe it's an oil finish).bpwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054240995895959628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15874916.post-9088306594127102122013-05-05T22:04:04.420-07:002013-05-05T22:04:04.420-07:00I have a Jorgensen wheel!!

I was a new spinner and still have my Louet but loved the antique look of a brand new hand crafted wheel. Mr. Joe was very helpful and told how he had learned to spin when very young from his mother. He was mechanical so figured how to build a wheel while still a young man. He was upset that some in Oregon had begun to take his plans and build wheels but that they were not the quality he would want. I don't know if he was just protective of this 'babies' or sorry he had mentored the new builder. <br />I am interested in what you paid for your wheel as I would like to sell mine.
