<DIV></DIV>My problem with it being a weaving shuttle is that it is curved.
correct me if I am wrong but it would be very awkward to move it at all between
the warp threads. I am wondering why ANTLER was chosen to make a tool that could
be easily produced on cattle rib - much more work involved this
way.<BR><BR>Alice<BR><BR>
