Starting Posts



Real nice updated and refinished Paneled Octagon newel post with contrasting stain color to the stairs. Very detailed stair brackets can also be seen on the side of the stairs add to the overall look of the staircase


Nice original looking Paneled Octagon newel post starts this steep and twisted handrail, featuring winders top and bottom. Very detailed stair brackets complete the look of this very period designed staircase.


This square newel post is a first for me, I haven't seen this detail or style before. The handrail is big and wide and is just incredible up through the 180 Twist transition at the turn to the upper staircase.


Beautiful refinished box post with a lot of great detailing leads up the stair to a intense "Waterfall Twist" coming down from the 2nd floor hallway.


A close up example of a Beaded Panel Octagon newel post also featuring a real nice Twisted Rail Cap on top of the newel post. This handrail profile is commonly referred to as "Toad Back" and was by far the most popular and widely used of the period,


This step and tight staircase features a handrail that seem to fall down and levels out right too thr Twisted Rail Cap. Good example of a paneled octagon newel post is used for the starting post.
