Lathe turning- Duplicating spindles and finials on
the lathe is one of our favorite services we offer. Our technician has
over 17yrs. experience.
Woodturning has been used on furniture for centuries and is sadly becoming a
lost art. Modern machines and duplicators have replaced the hand
craftsmanship and uniqueness that each turning possesses. Each cut is
duplicated with caliper measurements and sharp tools. Because all of
our turning is
done by hand, no two are the same.
Alternative ivory- Turning this material requires
different techniques and rpm speeds. When done properly, it mimics real
ivory or tortoise shells, without harming the environment or wildlife. Old
fashioned buttons and drawer pulls are now made from this material.
