Introducing the Craven. This spin top is a fusion of elegance and engineering, crafted for connoisseurs of precision. Choose between the lightness of stainless steel or the satisfying heft of tungsten—both have the same minimalistic design but have very different weights (and therefore different spin times).
Its design features include a distinctive large face groove that blends with the low profile body and a hollowed-out stem with diamond knurl for optimal gripping during your launch.
This is more than a spinning top; it’s a slice of perfection that fits in the palm of your hand.

Inspired by Chattanooga’s historic Craven House, the Craven spinning top captures the spirit of its namesake’s resilience and heritage. It has a design as timeless as the Craven House’s storied past. It stands as a symbol of history’s touchstones—persistence, precision, and the quiet joy of a well-lived moment—much like the orchard-strewn grounds of the Craven estate once provided.

I bought the stainless and tungsten 2 pack of this Craven and was extremely impressed by it’s design. Best spin so far was 27:05 with minimal effort on a cheap 4″ Djuinno lens. They’re so nice I bought a couple more to give as gifts. These are top tier, world class spinning tops – same for his other models. The Electra is an awesome long spinner too. Thanks again Scott.

Just wanted to give a update on my Time with my
Tungsten Craven. I thought when I had hit 22:24 with it was pretty good. I talked to Scott about that and he said it should do 25 minutes plus. It took me about another week of trying.I finally hit 25:45 and Im hoping I can beat that time.
Scovie Tops are the best and my favorite tops that I have out of over 60 tops.

I was going to get the SS one!
But there’s no more in Stock and no more are being made.
So I pulled the trigger and got the Tungsten one!
My best time has been 20:.50, I was hoping to do 22 minutes or more.
The Tungsten one is amazing!
It’s like a piece of jewelry.
The feeling and texture of the Tungsten is so different it’s really smooth. I guess because of the density of the Tungsten.
Another Nice Top From SCOVIE!!
Thanks! SCOVIE.

With an initial spin of 1482 RPM my tungsten Craven toppled at 168 RPM after 20Min 42 seconds. I did this left handed on a worn 4″ concave glass base on my fourth try. I have a small collection of performance tops and use a non contact digital tachometer to monitor the spins. This top is in a different elite league.
