3x20" custom Redwood spindle restoration This customer wanted their spindles 20% bigger
Spindle Restoration in Canfield, OH: This customer was only replacing about half of the wooden spindles on his porch and therefore needed an exact replica. He picked the best remaining spindle from his porch to be replaced so we had a good template to go by. The result: an exact replica of his original spindles. They are 3 15/16" x 14 1/2" net custom turned Douglas Fir porch spindles.
We now stock these wooden spindles as our 4x26" C15 Tuscan Port Orford Cedar Porch Spindles. Check out the completed project on our PORCH GALLERY page. Purchase these on our ONLINE STORE.
3x24" custom turned porch spindle restoration made with Port Orford Cedar for a project in Paola, KS. The original spindles were in very rough shape. Both the customer and our guys did some doctoring to get this spindle to the point where it could be copied. Once that was done, we are able to make an unlimited number of replica spindles (or balusters).
A custom porch job in Beach Haven, NJ. This customer wanted spindles in two different lengths: taller ones that could be fitted to a curved "goose neck" easing, and shorter ones for the straight sections of rail. Also, note the bottom notching for use on a sloped-top bottom rail.
One of the boxes of the shorter spindles. All ready to ship! Again, note the bottom notching for use on a sloped-top bottom rail. Note the use of our premium, solid Port Orford Cedar. It is the strongest of all cedars, which means it looks better, lasts longer, machines to a finer finish than any other.
A restoration project in Farmington, NY. Because this house was "grandfathered", they had the luxury of using the original short spindles for an exact reproduction.
Another porch spindle restoration project that was "grandfathered" and therefore able to use original size 4x17" spindles. This one is in Greensboro, GA. The homeowner wanted to spread the cost out over time and is replacing only the most rotted ones a dozen or so at a time.
The spindles on the right side are the new ones. The ones on the left are the original 120 year-old spindles. For convenience and financial reasons,this homeowner decided to replace only the spindles with the most damage.Once we have a design made, an unlimited number of perfect reproductions can
be made. So whether you are doing your project in stages like this one, or you want to add a back entry rail to match the porch rail you installed last year, your design will always be on file here and ready to go.
Another Victorian Porch Restoration, this one in Montgomery, AL. For an exact reproduction, this customer needed a 2 1/4" net wood spindle width.Although this is not a stock size, we simply milled larger stock down to match the dimension. In this way, we can create any size you need. Port Orford Cedar was used because it's strength, durability, and it's natural rot and insect resistance. This premium outdoor wood contains an oil that is toxic to insects and mold which means these spindles will look great for generations. 
A 2x7" custom Port Orford Cedar accent spindle restoration for a house in Bozeman, MT. Can you find the original?
6" Redwood Balltop Finial restoration
Next time you're in Brooklyn, NY, keep an eye out for this front entry restoration. This homeowner wanted the spindles slightly thinner than the originals, and needed some new balltop finials for the existing newels (newels not shown here). We were able to match the massive 7" diameter finials and therefore keep the original character of the entryway.
2x15" Douglas Fir table leg restoration and modification. Oddly enough, the original wooden spindle came off a railing on an old boat damaged by hurricane Katrena. This customer liked the design and wanted his coffee table to reflect the style of his old boat. We can help you make the indoors OR outdoors your own. 
Katherine V. of Derby, New York writes: "[The exterior spindles and railing] came yesterday, I absolutely love them. Wanted you to know that and how impressed we are with the quality. We will definitely be using you for our two back porches in the spring! Look forward to working with you again!" 10/7/2008
