Mike Smethurst, Sheffield has been supplying individuals and businesses with both hand and copy lathe turned spindles, finials, balustrades and other examples of fine crafted woodwork from its premises in Sheffield for many years.

With a background in development engineering the company is able to proudly boast that "No Job Is Too Large" nor indeed, by employing professional craftsmen, too small to receive their undivided attention. Even copy turned but hand finished items have been supplied to customers' exacting requirements.

A Wema Joker 7000 copy lathe can produce twisted and fluted work up to 3.3 metres in length, while the Killinger 6000 can produce spindles up to 1.5 metres in length. Larger pieces requiring the bespoke assembly of turning equipment are limited only by the 3 tonnes lifting load of the overhead crane at their new premises near to the city centre of Sheffield. Even entire tree trunks can be turned to provide large scale sculpted architectural art installations for public open spaces
  Existing commercial customers include:
  • A major supplier of fine bespoke furniture favoured by people who feature among the UK's wealthiest individuals
  • Restorers of period housing requiring replacements for damaged or rotten items that extend the life of cherished and listed buildings.
