Hi all,
My daughter's primary schoolteacher, on learning that I did some woodworking, asked if I could help her with a piece needed for a restoration her husband is undertaking.
Unfortunately, it's a turned part and I've never done turning, don't have a lathe, and have no room in the workshop for one right now.
The part is a foot from an early 20th century piece, about 120mm long x 60mm diameter overall dimensions. Not sure what the wood is, but it's very light. As near as I can estimate, the weight/density is on the order of pine or cedar (something like 350kg/cu.mtr).
I was hoping some kind person here might be able to replicate the part if I was to send them a full-scale template (I'm reluctant to send the part in case it gets lost and we'll then be losing parts faster than replacements are appearing!). Obviously I'd be happy to cover the costs of postage and a suitable timber blank.
If anyone interested would like to PM me, I'll sort out pictures and the template.
cheers,
Pete
