Johnny Shiels doesn't cut corners (apart from cutting precision corners on his Dutch-style spinning wheels). Each wheel is born of naturally sourced wood, often with bark initially intact. There are no shortcuts taken in the creation of a spinning wheel, which can take upwards of eight hours to craft, depending on the type of wood used. A wheel is an interrelationship of parts that must marry together perfectly, and it's that perfection that Johnny and the Shiels family are famed for across three generations of wheelmaking.
