I’m looking for a shop in the boston area (within an hour or two) that can do larger turnings. I need a pretty simple turning for a newell post on a porch I’m recreating. The post itself if 48″ long from 6X6 douglas fir. If anyone knows of a shop that can do that sort of work (and do it fairly quickly – there are four of them and I would need them done in about 2 weeks) could you let me know? Thanks!
