Brownstone Spindle search

We’re trying to track down 15-20 spindles like this one for our 1899 Bed-Stuy Brownstone staircase. We’ve tried all the obvious suspects: Eddie’s, Demolition Depot, Old Goode Things but no luck. Any other salvage shop suggestions or ideas how to get matching spindles?

Thanks for the tips everyone! We’ll be sure to mention your name, “Stetson.”

I can’t recommend anyone else but do NOT go to Heights Woodworking. They totally botched an enormous job of ours thru this winter. We had used them for a couple of things over the years with no problem, but in this case, they didn’t make what we asked for, didn’t follow specs, probably subcontracted the project to a 3rd party and over all, behaved in a very surprising, unprofessional way. Keep FAR away from them.

Heights Woodworking can make new ones that are an exact match.
