I'M TRYING TO FIND A MANUFACTURER WHO CAN PRODUCE 26" SPINDLES FROM A DRAWING. THE SPINDLE DESIGN FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR A YEAR BUT THE SPINDLES ARE EITHER EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE ($50 EACH AND UP) OR MADE OUT OF INFERIOR MATERIAL. WHO WOULD KNOW OF A REPUTABLE SPINDLE MANUFACTURER?

Try the Yellow Pages.....?

I just checked on AnyWho and they list 15 "millworks" in New Orleans.........

"Latham" lists a website.....illustrated with stock balusters.....and they turn custom also.......I didn't price any work...
