Made of rock solid maple lumber and birch doweling, Shanti's Hardwood Spool is without question the ultimate kite spool. Each hardwood spool receives two coats of lacquer for a long lasting, protective finish and is carefully inspected by quality craftsmen. Shanti is so confident of the quality that they sell it with a "lifetime guarantee" against all defects in materials or workmanship when used under normal flying conditions. This spool has 500 feet of 50 lb. Braided Dacron. Made in the USA by Shanti Kites.
