Hello folks,
I've been in awe of my grandfather's wooden tops.
Today I practiced 'target' on a disk, and I was suprised with how smooth it was spinning!
It looked like it was standing stil while spinning.
Those very old tops had great owners and even greater builders.
The people who make tops are true artists. A top is not an easy toy to make and to let it spin.
how did they do it in the old days?
So I been thinking. . A top that old .. how can it be compared to modern tops?
If you look at these old wooden tops, they have survived that long. My grandfather's tops at least 30 to 40 years.
He told me that these tops were his , back in the days when he was a child.
My grandfather is almost 80.
Sorry , math is not my thing. .
My point is, are old wooden tops as durable and smooth spinning as modern tops?
Many warm greets,
Hydrona
