The experienced tatter will generally prefer a shuttle without a point as the point can be in the way of a fast moving shuttle. A point or hook on one end of the shuttle is used to make a joining stitch and is preferred by some tatters. This will generally limit the thread size to the finer threads, to avoid constant rewinding of the shuttle. The shuttle which is passed back and forth through a working loop should be small enough to handle between the fingers. The more common tatting technique in which the thread is wound around a small shuttle, the shuttle in turn used to make a sequence of knots on the working thread through somewhat difficult hand manipulations.

Similar to wood, they develop a nice sheen after some extended use. He was not sure of the plastic but it was not long using one that he still uses one (a plain pseudo-bone) often, when tatting.

Randy, being a person to appreciate all the attributes of wood, really likes using the resin shuttles. Having the ability to cast the GR-8 Double-bobbin shuttle now makes them easier to reproduce, as such, less expensive. Color can be added to the resin as with the single bobbin GR-8 Shuttles. The ecru has a resemblance to bone, so will refer to the color as pseudo-bone. The casting material used comes as ecru or white. The double-bobbin shuttles are about 2 1/2 inches, including hook. The Double-bobbin resin shuttles range a little in size. Right-tight, Left-loose looking down on the screw. The flat-head post goes on top, through the smaller hole and the slotted screw goes in through the larger hole on the bottom of the shuttle. The flat-head, or decorative portion of the binding screw is the recipient side and the slot-head bolt is the screw. The shuttle must be assembled correctly to operate properly. One half of the screw contacts the shuttle and the other half contacts the bobbins. The bobbins are held together in the shuttle by a binding screw. The GR-8 Double-bobbin shuttle has two stacked bobbins, one on top of the other. The GR-8 Double-bobbin shuttle, by Gary and Randy Houtz, was first developed in 1994 and went patent pending in 1995.
