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. I'm printing that out, and I think I'll adapt it to my use.
I hope I don't get sued for plagiarism
Price chart
The price of turning is meaningless if you can't provide your customer with quality work. Thanks Dave
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 http://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.
Bad business lost a friend and customer because of Woodchairpart
View Image woodchairparts.com made me Lose a customer and friend
I sent 4 legs and also 8 sofa legs and 2 table tops to get repaired and Dave sent only 4 legs back and were not repaired they were still broken and he charged me for all the work and none was done he still has 8 legs and 2 table tops still waiting for to be shipped.why he didn't send all in one box to save me the customer money is just plain wrong! I sent all pieces in 1 box in which he didn't do. also he shipped some parts to another address that was wrong from the one I gave him. I have proof for all this that was done to me also he is bad in communication he doesn't answer questions when asked he claimed to have finished with the work and charged me but work was not completed very bad business stay away from this company is very unreliable I lost a good friend and customer thanks to Dave at woodchairparts.com I strongly don't not recommend this company.
