I have pictures of these shuttles on my web page and also a few GR-8 Shuttles from other tatting friends. He used Honeysuckle Burl wood and I had my initials and year carved on the sides. I bought some gemstones of all our birthstones and had Randy set the gemstones in the shuttle. I also had him make me a shuttle I call my Mother's Birthstone Shuttle. I had Randy make me one out of Elk Antler with a Coral Heart inlay and on the sides I had him scrimshaw my initials and the year. Sometimes I'll stop tatting and will just look at and admire the GR-8 Shuttle that I am using. The shuttles feel great in my hands and are also like a piece of art work.

The solid construction keeps the shuttle from "grabbing" the thread as with traditional shuttles. The shuttle is a new and different design and takes some practice to discover all of its advantages.
