Open Bottom Slim Boat Shuttles
Handmade open bottom slim boat shuttles—precision weaving tools built for weavers who demand more from every pass. The open bottom design reduces weight and increases glide across the warp, while giving you direct access to apply tension above or below the bobbin. The result is a weft that lands exactly where it should, with the kind of clean, accurate pick that experienced weavers can feel the difference in.
Each open bottom slim shuttle is handcrafted in Spokane, WA from premium hardwoods with careful attention to shape, balance, and finish. The smooth, Danish oil finish prevents snagging and delivers a silk-like feel in hand, while the slim 1.375" profile glides effortlessly through the shed. Lighter than a closed bottom shuttle by design, these tools move with speed and agility through extended weaving sessions without wearing you out.
Ideal for weavers who work with fine threads, tight warps, or anyone who wants precise weft tension control on every pick. Available in 8", 10", and 12" lengths across six stunning hardwoods—Maple, Cherry, Walnut, Purple Heart, Padauk, and Quartersawn White Oak. Proudly handcrafted in America since 2012 with eco-conscious practices and traditional woodworking techniques.
