Bring it in · or send a photograph
Not sure what you’ve got? Send a photograph and we’ll tell you what it is and what a set would cost.
One photograph and one known dimension is enough. Within a day you have a dimensioned drawing of your part, and a price to make as many more as you want, in any species you can name, turned by Mennonite and Amish workshops in Ontario.
Asking is free. Nothing is made, and nothing is charged, until you have seen the drawing and agreed to a price.
Two services, and most jobs use both. We draw your part so it can be built, then we turn it. Order the parts and the drawing comes with them, free.
Shop drawing · SP-001 · rope twist
A measured, dimensioned drawing of your turned part. Every diameter and every length, printed at a scale your workshop can work from, with the profile drawn as a proper elevation rather than traced from a photograph.
Drawn, then turned · No. 102 · black walnut
The part itself. Made to the drawing, to your dimensions, in the species you choose. Turned by workshops we work with directly, not by a broker.
Either one reaches a person. Neither one costs anything to start.
Walk in with the original, or with a piece of it. We measure it in front of you and tell you what it is.
Photograph the part on a plain background with a tape measure in frame if you have one. Tell us roughly how many you need. We do the rest.
We’re on Colonnade Road, in the same building as the furniture trades that have been here for generations. Bring the part in during business hours and we’ll measure it while you wait.
Stairs in older Ottawa houses: why the baluster you broke can’t be bought →
Ottawa Spindles is a brand of Kessels’ Upholstering, which has been at the trade in Ottawa for more than seventy-five years. We work out of 107 Colonnade Road in Nepean, alongsideHenderson Furniture Repair, repairing the city’s furniture since 1947. Both are family businesses.
The turning is done by Mennonite and Amish workshops whose families have been at the craft for generations. We specify the profile. They cut it. We stand behind it.
