Order custom wood newel posts to enhance your architectural project.
Product Overview
Custom wood newel posts are the upright supports for handrails at the bottom and top of a staircase. They can also be positioned along the length of rail and where staircases change direction.
Wood newel posts have a primary purpose of structural support, though are typically decorative to varying degrees.
Explore a few of the different types of newel posts available for customization below.
Newel posts can significantly accent the architectural style of a home and can be produced with a variety of milling options or from multiple wood species to make a bold statement.
Additionally, newel posts can be produced to complement handrail profiles.
Types of Wood Newels
Newel posts are available in different styles and constructions to suit the design and functionality of a staircase.
Square or box newels often incorporate decorative moldings and a shaped cap, making them ideal for grand staircases or formal entryways.
Round newels, made from solid stock, are crafted with square sections at the base for secure mounting and near the top for attaching handrails. With available diameters ranging from 3 ½ inches to over 10 inches and lengths between 48 and 60 inches, newel posts can be customized based on staircase proportions and installation methods.
