Earlier this year, somewhat on a whim, I listed spinning tops on my Etsy store:
https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1743052543/random-spinning-top
I intended them to be a kind of 'box filler' - people would round an order up and chuck a few in with other items.
They are my new best seller.
People order five, ten, twenty at a time, all by themselves. People from across the world are ordering them. Today I am sending off orders of five to California and ten to the UK.
I'm actually having to look around a bit and find more wood for them, because I've got plenty of bowl blanks but not a lot of nice spinning top wood. Might start slicing up some of my larger long square blanks which I was saving for larger projects like earring holders.
I love it!
