Foreverspin, Metal by Metal

The Spinning Top Wall

Foreverspin makes one spinning top, the same shape every time, and turns it in a long list of metals. Line them up and the only thing left to compare is the material: its color, its weight in the hand, the way it wears. Each top here is photographed off its base and labeled with the metal it is made of.
