The Schacht Boat Shuttle gives you control, speed, and a beautiful glide through your warp. Available in either hard maple orcherry wood, these single-bobbin shuttles are built with care in the USA and designed to fit comfortably in hand.
Choose maple for a lightweight, everyday workhorse—versatile, strong, and available in a full range of sizes from 9" to 15". Cherry wood offers a deeper tone and a bit more weight, making it a pleasure to handle.
Here’s how the sizes break down:
9" – Available in both maple and cherry, regular width, open bottom only
11" – Available in maple and cherry, regular or slim width
Maple offers open or closed bottom
Cherry comes only with an open bottom
13" and 15" – Only available in maple, regular width, open bottom
Each shuttle is sanded smooth, finished with Danish oil, and built to hold a single plastic bobbin that spins freely in the open-bottom cavity—giving you clean, even selvedges and an efficient, consistent throw.
