The hand-turned Thunderbolt Spinning Top blends ancient technology with modern precision. Carved by hand, using traditional woodworking techniques, the body of the top is a hefty dart of solid maple adorned with a specially engineered metal tip. The Thunderbolt Spinning Top requires a bit of a snap to get started and spins with a lazy defiance of gravity, like a heavyweight boxer dancing across a tightrope. A handsome and unusual top for the dexterous sophisticate.
