    Robert,

    The newels are really nice, tell us about the lathe you turned them on. I can see the lathe in the background of your pictures, it doesn't look like anything I have ever seen.

    Wow! Those are huge pen blanks you got there! I like the others would like to hear more about your lathe and you business of making large turnings. To my knowledge, we don't have any productions turners posting about making architechural pieces.

    The lathe is a hydrolic duplicator, it can duplicate up to 6 inches well, after that Im hand turning,it can flute, rope, and twist.It is made by hapfo a german company.Its max lenght is eight feet.I am currently in the process of buying a fourteen foot Oliver for columns and big face plate work.If you guys have specific questions I would gladly answer them.
    Happy turning!
