Clueless? Maybe....... Don't want to seem rude but did you happen to notice at the top of the page it says Woodworking Australia's Woodwork Forums. That means that this is an Australian site and although we are visited by a number of US turners it is a waste of time expecting anyone to help from here, or for that matter the US if you don't give info like where you are. You know, town, state, etc.

A little help with these details probably won't hurt your cause, although I doubt that any of the Aussies will be jumping at the chance to do the job.

You might try looking in your local yellow pages under woodturners. It will probably be quicker and easier.

Cheers - Neil :D

You surely have companies in the states that sell balusters ?

An Aussie example is at

http://www.federationsupplies.com.au/ess/shop.php3?aisle=Turned+Baluster

You could also buy a cheap lathe, add a duplicator for a bit more money (they are about $150 in Australia), and away you go ...

Or, find a local woodturning club, and ask them.

Or, get the dog to chew all the remaining balusters, so they match ...

Cheers,
Andrew
