I turned these spindles for a friend who is making a 4 poster bed. He is doing the lower parts but just felt uncomfortable trying to do the upper spindles. These are 2 part. The top 14" will screw off to make it easier to move the bed. I did these entirely by eye so the coves and long sweeping curves may be off just a little. That is so a close eye can tell it was hand turned and not machine done. I could have made a template and made each one virtually the same but that wasn't necessary in this case.

My Pop used to say "A man running for his life wouldn't notice" and my brother always said Once the drapes are up you will never notice. They look fine to me. wabi sabi

They don't to need to match, they need to rhyme.
