I reached out to this company out of the blue to help with custom turned spindles, and they could not have been more responsive or efficient. The product they created was exceptionally well made, finished ahead of schedule, and looked beautiful. Highly recommend!

Noah was great help in getting spindles made for my stairs. But do to health issues I've not been able to get them finished. If you need to reproduce spindles check with him.😁

I really enjoyed working with Arnold. I ordered a couple dozen spindles for my porch renovation. I couldn't find an example of the exact profile I wanted, so I gave them a couple pictures and asked for a combination of the those examples. They provided designs that were exactly what I wanted. The finished product came promptly, was well packaged, and looked perfect. Great quality. I painted the spindles and got them installed. Very happy with the outcome.

Owner's reply
Thank you, Brandon! The painted spindles look great. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to the next project together!

Noah and the team at H. Arnold expertly crafted two beautiful posts for us, perfectly matching our existing ones. The posts were delivered within two weeks, and we look forward to utilizing their services for all our future projects. The craftsmanship was outstanding, and we were very pleased with the level of detail and attention to customer needs.

I have found a valuable partner in Arnold Wood Turning. I am the proud owner and curator of a 19th century 28room Georgian Colonial, and I needed specific materials for the restoration of my home. I go to great lengths to keep my home authentic and historically correct; however, I am not a Rockefeller. After exhaustive research I finally ended up with Arnold Wood Turning as a company that was capable and affordable for what I needed. Careful attention was paid to the measurements, appropriate materials, style and application of what I needed. After speaking with them I felt comfortable that Arnold understood the type of wood turning I needed and had the skills to do the work. I was not disappointed. Arnold Wood Turning was able to duplicate what I needed at an affordable, reasonable price. I highly recommend Arnold to anyone who is not only interested in repairing their home or business but who also wants to maintain its integrity.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much for your generous review, Marla! It was a pleasure working with you on the turned components for your restoration project. Your experience is exactly what we aim for, and we appreciate your trust in Arnold Wood Turning. Until next time!

Noah and his team at H. Arnold Wood Turning have been fantastic partners for our historic rehabilitation projects. They fabricated new wooden finials and balusters for us to fill in missing parts on staircases that are high quality, exact replicas of the originals. Great prices and turn-around. Highly recommended!

Owner's reply
Thank you very much for your review, Thomas! It's been great working with you on your projects. Take care!

I cannot express my joy that H. Arnold was able to create new spindles for my antique bed . Roughly 5 spindles were damaged and they agreed to remake thm, as a new mold was needed. They were perfect, fit into the bed, and it was good as new. This is a class shop and one I highly recommend. See the photo of the bed and you will see the spindles on the sides they remade.

Thank you for the kind review, Lisa! It was a pleasure working with you. Until next time!

Arnold Wood Turning did an excellent job for manufacturing the wood products for my need. Basically, the wood porch post bases in my house were rotten. I contacted several wood mills in Maryland / Virginia area including TW Perry to duplicate the wood bases. Either I got no response, or the price offered by woodmill was too high. Eventually I contacted Arnold Wood Turning in New York. Noah Mufson was very helpful, he is patient and knowledgeable. Once he knew what I needed, he provided reasonable quote for the wood base. The finished wood products made by Arnold Wood are simply fantastic and fit the purpose (see the pictures attached). I highly recommend Arnold Wood Turning to anyone who need high quality wood product.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you, and we're very happy to hear that the bases were a perfect fit. Looking forward to the next project!
