Soft Maple Lighthouse Newels The lighthouse newels were crafted for a customer in Mobile, AL. They have been popular in coastal areas with customers that are interested in a maritime theme. One of the first sets we made were for a beautiful home on the Mississippi coast. This particular customer owned four racing sail boats. […]
Antique Reproduction Newels We just finished these reproduction newels in red oak. They were shipped to a customer in Texas for his personal home. Originally we were asked to copy an old image of this newel for a customer. It became so poplar we added to our list of standard newels. We have a […]
3D Newel Model This newel is actually a modification of a stock newel we make – the N103 (the Texan as per my newel site stair-newels.com). I have a customer that wanted to emulate a newel she found on Houzz. My N103 is very similar to that newel so that is where we started. The first modification […]
Stair Newel / Baluster Rendering These are stair newel and baluster renderings I made for a customer in GA. We were trying to find a baluster to match the large Pennsylvanian (N108) newel that we make that my customer would like. She wanted something simple but ultimately did not prefer the simple taper ed […]
Oak Octagonal Balusters These red oak balusters are reproductions of the darker (old pine) baluster shown in the images. They measure 2 inches X 34 inches. The new oak balusters will replace the pine balusters in an interior balcony setting in a Mississippi home. I actually made these in two pieces. The square base with […]
Custom Newel We recently had a customer contact us about a stairway they wanted to update. They did not want to replace all the existing newels but only the two starter newels. It was important for them to try and match the “lines” of the existing smaller newels for a cohesive appearance. The first image […]
Small Reproduction Newel I just posted about some of the largest N115 reproduction antique newels we have made. This is about the smallest N115 reproduction newels we have made. They measure 3 1/2 inches wide only. They are, like their larger counterparts, made from poplar and will be painted. The challenge with making smaller […]
Huge Newels This pair of ten inch newels were modeled after our N115 reproduction antique newel. They were made of poplar and can be either painted or stained – though poplar is best painted I think (that is what this particular customer is doing). They measure 10″ X 44″ and will be capped with a newel […]
Barley Twisted Newels The Barley twisted newels are some of the more popular newels that manufacture. The pair of newels below are our N112 post-to-post version. These were made for a customer in Pennsylvania. They measure 5 1/2″ X 48″ and are made of poplar. The will be painted. The barley twisted newels are often […]
Newel Caps We often make newels larger that the ones that major stair manufactures make (3-4″ in diameter). As such, the rail fitting caps are too small for our over-the-post newels. We therefore make the larger newel caps for the larger newels. The newel caps have to match the profile of the handrail so that […]
