I have a good customer that is a custom furniture builder in Raleigh. He does not do lathe work but needs about 25 pieces made on a lathe for a project he is working on.
Specifically, he needs someone that can take some 3/4" diameter walnut dowel rods that he supplies (24" - 48" length, or thereabouts), and turn about 3" of each end down to 1/2" diameter.
A wood lathe with a 7/8" or larger hole through the spindle should be able to easily handle this, or a lathe with a steady rest.
It would be a paid gig, but he would expect high quality work (consistent thickness and accurate tolerances).
Send me an e-mail if you're interested in bidding on it and I'll put y'all in contact with one another.
