Segmented Wood Top

Great idea. Also a bit of science in the toy to strike a kids imagination.

That’s a delight. And quite a bit of prcision work going into each one. If I were a kid, I’d being wandering by slowly, quite regularly!

Really great. I have a book somewhere with a lot of old tpy plans in it. I’m now inspired to get it out.

Nothing like bringing those old toys back from the past. Nice job.

Cool top! Do you have or could you take pictures of how the rope spinner part is made and how it works?

Nice job of turning. Nice job of giving.

With all the lead scares of today I’m surprised more people are not going to the old style wood toys. A top, what kid isn’t fascinated by one? Your’s look super. Thanks for sharing.

That’s really neat! I’m a big fan of wood toys. Like Brian says, I’m surprised there aren’t more of them.

It’s beautiful, as well!

For John Gray,

Hi John, I added another photo. I hope it clarifies the way the string is wound.

Regards,

Great Top and a neat design.
