Bespoke Woodturning

Turning

Stableford’s are able to supply just about any turned product. Our hallmark is the high quality of the selected timbers, our outstanding craftsmanship and expert detailing. All our pieces are individually turned and include:

flute, reed and rope twist designs
newels
spindles
columns
newel caps
bun feet
door knobs
long hole boring
architectural components
chair legs
table legs
candlesticks

Finishing

Turned items can be finished in any way our client wishes or left sanded and/or primed in preparation for final finishing by the customer. Our sanding is all done by hand and eye for a better, sharper finish. We spray on the paint or lacquer as this provides a better smoother finish than by brush. For that extra special effect, gold and silver leafing can be applied to our newels and spindles, as well as to our home furnishing products such as table lamps, standard lamps and candlesticks. Our professional finishing services comprise:

gold & silver leafing
spray finishing
staining
polishing
lacquering
hand painting
Lighting & Interiors

Miscellaneous

We also apply our talents to other related areas:

Trophy bases – assignments include bases for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year trophies.

Shop display plinths – to suit any size or quantity.
