Roof finials

Gable end finials in any style and most types of timber can be made to order. Roof finials can be made to match originals, from photographs with measurements, from drawings or in discussion with you. Replacement finials can be turned where the original has become damaged or rotten. Square, octagonal, hexagonal roof finials can be ordered.

Newel post finials

Newel post finials are often an integral part of the newel post but can be turned as a separate component with a spigot or dowel that fits into a drilled hole. Typical shapes are acorn finials and ball finials.
