Last fall I had a customer come to me in need of 60 spindles for a porch that was in bad shape. The house is in a historical district, and all work/renovation must be "as close to the original as possible". Of course, I love this kind of work, but at the same time I had been dreading the thought of having to deal with 2 perpendicular pommels on a softwood spindle. The due date was set for the end of March, and a few weeks ago it was time to face the music. Fortunately once I got into it I realized it wasn't as problematic as I thought it would be. But I still couldn't make a false move, cuz that dern cypress is unforgiving stuff (there's a few 'oops' spindles in the burn pile).
