Give a staircase a substantial, traditional starting point with this solid wood turned newel post. An 8″ round block with a moulded lip receives the handrail. Below it, the post steps through a ringed collar and a bulbous knop into a long tapered baluster body that finishes on a 6″ turned foot. Its full, rounded profile pairs naturally with turned balusters and suits traditional, transitional, and heritage stair designs.
Standing 33″ tall, this piece of wood millwork is turned from solid rift white oak, chosen for its straight, consistent grain that wraps cleanly around a large-diameter turning. The 13.13″ round block gives ample length for handrail fittings and newel fastening hardware, and the oak’s density stands up to the daily wear a newel takes at the foot of a stair. Finish it clear, or stain it to match treads and handrails as in the staircase shown.
This turned newel post was produced to a client’s approved drawing for a single staircase. Every dimension can be adjusted to suit your stair geometry, including the block height for handrail fittings, the overall height, and the turning profile, and we can produce matching balusters and landing posts on request.
Shown at 33″ tall, this post can be customized to any dimensions, including height, diameter, block length, and turning profile, to suit your staircase.
