Price is right method, $100,000,000.00!
...Or, Two posts, 1-1/2 hour of handwork, assuming your skill set and available
equipment, how about $320 finished. Did they bite for the two post method?

Any guesses as to how much I should charge for the job? It sure has been
quiet.
Mike
OK

Bingo! That is what I did. I told them I could duplicate it with all the
hand carving, for twice as much as I could make two matching posts that would
look so close to the original, it would look like a match to any others in the
set. They chose the matching pair. I showed them the little details that
would be missing. They didn't realize they were there, LOL.
Now the next thing to figure out is how much?

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)

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?
Mike
OK

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.
