Oak Stair Rail

[Tom R]

Here's my latest 'before-and-after' of going from a wrought iron to an oak balustrade. The oak is stained with 2 coats of MinWax Polyshades 'Old Maple', the spindles are pre-finished white.

Nice work - 200% improvement.

great job, Tommy. :D

[Tom R]

Thanks, - - and now that the customer got the 'taste' of the oak look, - - she's talkin' about needin' some more scattered around, - - love when that happens! 8)

[Dragon]

A vast improvement.

What is your spacing between spindles?

[Tom R]

Thanks, - - 3 3/4" goin' up the steps, - - and 4" up on the landing.

[Dragon]

At the widest point or between the flats?

No way the original was up to code.

Ever seen an inspector perform the ball test? They'll have a 4" diameter ball on a stick and if they can pass it through anywhere you fail.

[Tom R]

Between the flats, - - our inspectors don't have no balls. :lol:
