Anyone make Spindles for staircase?

[TheSellOut]

Here they are and I would be looking for 5. They staircase only needs 3 but thought it would be good to have a couple extra!

Signmeup, nice work on the chairs. Like the model kits too.

CptCorn, thanks!

i have 3 0f these. circa 1890's.

Op,

You must have been just a pup when you made those!

Re the spindles, check out any architectural salvage places within a decent drive. You won't find a better match than with material that's contemporary to your stairs. Out here in Eastern Ontario I haunt several places to outfit my old house, and I never go home disappointed or empty handed.---mal

:ROFLMAO:

Doh Here they are! the are approx. 18"t

 

[signmeup]

Yeah, I can make those. Skinny little things aren't they. Send one up if you can't find anyone closer. I'm in Nova Scotia.

You'll never get a matching part off a cnc machine or copy lathe BTW....those are hand did.

 

[TheSellOut]

PM me your address and I will ship one up! They are skinny, about 2" and they have to be handmade for the house was built in the 20's and its all original woodwork. Heres a pic of the entry way. We still have shoemolding to put on after just have the floors refinished and are going to be carpeting the stairs instead of refinishing them, at the moment, due to having a 7 month old bouncing baby girl!

What do you think it will cost? I definatly need four. And I would like to have you stain them as well!

 

[TheSellOut]

After I re-read your post, I see you were telling me they were "hand did" and not asking!!

 

[signmeup]

I would estimate $40 a piece. I can't be more definite until I see the finish. Matching the aged ones is an art in itself.

since this wood art, i have a friend in sarasota that does doors..........
beautiful hand made work.

Nice staircase. my wife and I such suckers for old homes ( our current 1926, the former 1901) but when you see stuff like you have in the previous post, it makes the headaches that often accommodate them all worthwhile.

I bet Norm Abram could have smiled and turned them on his teeth!

they have cancelled this old house, norm has joined the rest of us with the economy!!
