These columns were actually made for a bed. They measure 11 inches X 50 inches high. The caps and bases were turned by a friend. I’ll post pictures shortly.

The picture below is a set of soft maple barley twisted balusters for a stairway makeover in St Louis. These have become one of my more popular balusters. They measure 1 3/4 inches at he squares. The particular balusters follow the rake angle of the handrail at the top and bottom. This means the turned section is the same length throughout.

I just completed these balusters for a customer in Arkansas. Since it is a remodel job they wanted the new exterior balusters to match the existing balusters. These were turned from Spanish Cedar and measure 3 1/2 inches X 26 1/2 inches. The original is shown in white on top the other crated for shipment.

Our friend in Vancouver, WA was kind enough to send me pictures of the stairway project he and his crew are completing for a customer in Washington state. I’ve written about this project in other posts under Turnings and stair parts. These were the balusters that were modeled after the Silas Deane home. (Not sure who he was but apparently an American Revolutionary) The next pictures are of the nearly completed stairway. The striking aspect of the balusters are the alternating pattern.
