I sold my Tina II. I sold it a couple of weeks ago but the buyer has finally unpacked it and verified?that everything is in good shape. I didn't want to think of it as having completed till that happened.

She wanted a birds-eye maple Tina II so was willing to pay me what I wanted for it, which was well above the going rate for the cherry ones and also because I had more whorls, bobbins and extras like a spare scotch tension peg.?

I learned about the Tina II from this group and when I went back to look at when I had bought it, I realized how many of us had bought Tina II's in that timeframe.?

I loved that wheel. It was so beautiful. But when I went to spin, I almost always was spinning on a spindle or my Hansens. So it was better that the wheel went to someone who would use it. I was surprised by how many people contacted me after I posted that I had a birds-eye maple Tina II in the Jensen group. I didn't even actually say that I was ready to sell it. I just replied to her post where she asked if anyone had one and my location. I was also lucky that I found a great packing and shipping place because a condition of the sale for me was that she would pay for professional packing and shipping. No, it was not my friendly neighborhood UPS store but an independent POC-owned business that is a bit further away. They did a fantastic job per the buyer.
