Offer a new matching pair of their design using your guidance. Then both will
be happy. (unless that design matches other period furnishings in the same room)

Subject: Re: Working a replicating project from start to finish
This was broken in a move and the movers lost or hid
it, so fixing the old one, that would be too easy. Either way,
the wood is walnut and will be replaced with walnut. The posts
have a hole 2/3 the way up for a pivoting mirror swivel bolt to
pass through. The ball is 2-3/4", over all it is 24 inches. The
first challenge is always the customer. What options should we
give them?

Hello Mike
You don't get the easy ones do you.
What is this spindle for? ( it is pretty) but if one broke
already, what kind of wood are you going to use? Walnut,
popular
What is the over-all size and dia. of this spindle ? I cant
tell if its very small or large from these pictures. (Im going
to guess its 2 or 3 feet tall and 4-5"in dia. at the top and
bottom.)
I think that I would try to make this spindle in two pieces,
the lower 2/3 could be done on the Legacy,the upper part the
ball and leaf projection could be done on both the Legacy and
lathe,.THE leaf projection is the one that is stumping me,
roughing it out on the lathe and then finishing it by hand is
most likely the way it was done. but I dont have that skill, (I
know you do,) but the time it takes to Finnish be hand would be
very slow.
Another factor that needs to be asked is How many do you need
to make?
This is a GREAT Topic and Project for the group. I cant wait
to hear not only how you are going to do this, but what others
think of this one. and how they would do it. ;-)
One more idea that I just thought of, since you already
stated that one spindle got broken, are you going to make this
spindle from scratch? or could you just re-make the broken part
and re-use the old upper part? ;-)
Have a good day.
