Couronne stick

I didn't know what a couronne stick was until last week. Whenever I wanted to make a button loop, I would hunt for something approx the right thickness, dowel, pencil etc. I won't need to do that anymore - these gorgeous turned wood couronnes arrived this morning.

I ordered them on Friday and they arrived on Monday, pretty good service, don't you think? They weren't expensive either, the three cost less than £18 including postage. www.michael-williams-wood.co.uk is the place to go if you want one for yourself. Michael has other wood turned tools and is going to make me a mushroom so that I can do some darning.
