Love it! It would be nicer if instructions on assembly and “fine tuning” it were included. Nevertheless, this is authentic as it gets, and it spins like a charm! Loooove it!

Seller's description

Specifications

May include: A wooden box with a hinged lid, containing a small wooden wheel and other tools. The box is open and the wheel is visible. The box has a pink handle.

A beautifully handcrafted Box Charkha Traditional made from teak wood and finished with rich French varnish. Compact, lightweight, and perfect for travel — also known as the Pravas Charkha.

The Box Charkha contains:
▪ Teak wood Box Charkha with French varnish finish
▪ Three stainless steel spindles
▪ Cotton drive band
▪ A Winder

▪ Know your Charkha spinning wheel:
- Traditional Charkhas are crafted by the passionate & skilled artisans who have been crafting these charkhas from generations.
- So as to maintain its nature and tradition, they are still crafted in the same traditional ways. The material use and the methods are the same.
- The Charkha box frame is made from Teak Wood & Plywood is fitted to close the the frame. The outer sides of the completed box are then polished using French Varnish finish. The inner sides may not be polished or may have only light touch of the polish. So in some charkhas you may find the Plywood company logo visible on the inside. (This does not hamper the charkha operation in any way! )
- The Charkha formats, material used & the methods used are the same as have been followed by the earlier generations.
- You need to 'tune' the Charkha first time to start spinning on them. Also they need some oiling at the friction points. But these efforts are paid in full once you start spinning on them! Hand spinning on Charkhas is addictive! It gives you peace of mind and joy of creativity!!

▪ You can check & subscribe to our YouTube channel 'GramCrafts' for the related videos that shows Charkhas in action.
▪ Also, YouTube has many videos uploaded by our esteemed customers that show & explain the Charkha parts, their assembly & the ways to spin on it. Just search for 'Book Charkha Standard' in YouTube & you will see many videos.

▪ Shipping Mode: FedEx. Free Shipping Worldwide!!!
▪ Customs Duties & Taxes Reminder
Buyers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, or handling fees that may apply in their country. These charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. Unfortunately, sellers cannot predict or control these additional costs, as they vary by destination and local regulations.

Spinning on the Charkha is sheer bliss! It has soothing effects similar to meditation on body and soul of the spinner. Enjoy! Happy Spinning!!
