These mahogany Barley twisted balusters were turned for a customer on the East Coast. They measure 1 3/4 inches wide X 40 inches high. He needed these to have a 10 inch high square base with 24 inches of turned length and a 6 inch high square top. The mahogany looks very light colored (for mahogany). Let them sit around for a few weeks and they will certainly darken. The barley cutter is a 2 inch diameter cutter and the balusters have what is called a "one start" twist meaning that only one pass was made to created the twist.
