Had just the piece I needed to replace some missing trim in my Victorian addition. I needed to replicate a chair rail. I milled most of it myself, but couldn't find a certain size braided rope moulding. In pic, this is on the horizontal moulding. And on the door stile, you can see the original moulding. Found it here and they shipped fairly quickly. Note that I couldn't complete order using Firefox, so I had to order using Google Chrome. I only needed eight feet, so shipping was a little pricey, but I doubt that could be avoided.
Turntech absolutely nailed it! Great service, perfect product, good communication, accurate turnaround time. We'll definitely use them in future historic work.
Dear TurnTech,
I had ordered 3 custom posts for the porch refurb project back in August 2024 (reference invoice #36387). I finally got around to installing them (sometimes life gets in the way). Attached is a photo. I still need to stain the deck, but the tough part is finished. Posts look great!

Regards,
Steve Coladonato

Response from the owner:Looks fantastic, Steve! We're so glad you're enjoying the posts - thank you for the great review!
Turntech was a company that I was searching for for several years by way of many cabinet and kitchen companies with no success. But another specialty company referred me to you, and I'm so glad they did. Many thanks for the rope trim and prompt delivery!
Response from the owner:Thanks, Christopher! We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving the rope trim!
Thank-you for the great service. We received our material in good time and is just what we needed. Also thank-you for the gift we received. I don't know of any other company that does this. I will try and remember to send photo's of the finished product may be a while.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Betty! 🙌
