Assembling your spinning wheel
Most wheels are 'flat-packed' for shipping and require some basic assembly. Instructions are included in the welcome pack and you'll find this reasonably straightforward.
Free assembly: I will be happy to assemble and finish your wheel for you for free using Antiquax teak oil if you can collect it from me (Ashby de la Zouch, Leics).
I can supply wax if you'd like to add a shine to the oiled finish.
