41mm stair spindles, where to buy in NI

[cwr]

Hi folks,

Could anyone suggest somewhere to get 41mm plain square stair spindles in northern ireland, that are 1100mm long? Primed or unprimed. Anywhere local I've tried only do 900mm long, and can't find any mainland GB suppliers that would send over to NI.

Thanks

Surely any wood shop can make these, 12 months ago I would have made them for you ( saw bench and thicknesser planer) but have sold up my big tools.

Yes, but at cost. (I'm really watching the pennies now...)

 

On the last stairs I did I bought lengths of planed whitewood and cut to length as I needed over 900mm, and then bought 900mm spindles for the landing. Wre v similar cost.

The 'proper' spindles had a much better surface finish, edges better and less knots.

You want tulip wood then. Try McGregor James on Sydenham road. They do mouldings, stair components etc but are also hardwood merchants. They'll cut and plane tulip wood to spec if needed.
