These nearly finished stair railings are for a customer
with very eclectic tastes ... as shown by the chandelier made from
old ropes, rigging and pulleys! She also has a strong dislike for straight
lines; hence the gently waving handrail that flows across the gallery
and then sweeps down to form the newel post at the foot of the stairs.
In my last post I mentioned how sometimes it can be frustrating not
to be able to take decent photographs when I install my work. Here
it is because the support posts needed fixing rigidly to the structural
woodwork. This explains the mounting plates which unfortunately are
very visibly on show. Eventually these will be covered with a fascia
board but it will be a good few months before I can return to photograph
the railings properly.
Actually, it's not just the lack of a fascia that spoils the photos,
if you look carefully you'll see the stairs themselves are only half
built!
