Can any one recommend somewhere that I can get replacement wood spindles for an indoor staircase fabricated (I have no lathe)?

Had this guy do some spindles and splats for a chair, and he did a great job at a really reasonable price.  Just send'em a spindle, and he'll get a quote back to you quick.  Hes also stains and finishes the piece to match the sample at NO ADDITIONAL cost.\

I would highly reccomend him.

 

I like their pricing chart. (post #185921, reply #4 of 4)

I like their pricing chart. I'm printing that out, and I think I'll adapt it to my use.

I hope I don't get sued for plagiarism

Where are you located? I'm in (post #185921, reply #3 of 4)

Where are you located? I'm in NJ, and I do that kind of work as a sideline. Partly because I can make a few bucks at it, and partly because its fun for me.

If I'm not close enough, go to www.woodturner.org, and click the "find a local chapter" link.

Chances are there's a local AAW chapter somewhere near you where you can find someone to help. But be forewarned- most turners prefer to turn bowls and other "arty" type woodturnings. There aren't a whole lot of amateur spindle turners.
