Stacked 180 U shape

 Good view of the Twisted Volute and incredible 180 degree U shape staircase, this massive heavy handrail works well on the stair and layout.

2nd floor hallway with a nice little radius handrail leading up to the 2nd to 3rd floor stair, take a look at the radius 5' wainscoting echoing the the handrail on the outside wall....wish we could do more of that today.

Looking down through the stairwell, just incredible craftsmanship and quality. You can also really see the Quarter Sawn white oak treads. The two tone stain finish adds to the overall appearance. Just don't trip and take a header out the window...

Nice Twisted Quarter Turn

2 nice examples of Twisted Quarter Turns takes this basic design detail and makes it graceful and flowing. The balusters have a great amount of detail and flutes.

Beautiful foyer and octagon newel post, and rail cap. The longer straight upper stair adds

a little more space to put in a couple twist fittings.

        Nice Octagon newel post, with beaded edges....crazy balusters.

Seeing Doubles

Great view looking down from above really shows how the stair design 

will create a incredible "Twisted Volute" and Cur Tail bullnose

    This view reminds me of a Plate in a stairbuilding book I have, almost text book design

Hallway Return

This box posts shows a few very unique design details, such as a little raised panel above the lower box section, Round top middle panel is really hard to make. Twisted upeasing starts at the post and works its way up the stairs

    You never really see a level return handrail, here is a good example, 

this hallway has a lot handrail detail in a small area....awesome

Cantilevered Winder Treads

This was built by a master stairbuilder.... 10 on the difficulty level.

The time spent in designing and laying out the winder is obvious in these pictures.

Long graceful ramp easing makes up the height difference in the winders.

 

Great view looking up at the bottom of the winder tread boxes...some fine workmanship..

Twisted Turnout

                                                     

Fine looking "Twisted Turnout" fits this stair perfectly, and another example
of the twists on the newel posts turn down towards the stair.

 Great view as you enter the front door, makes a nice statement and offers a lot
of detail to the stairscase

This is a great example of a 'Twisted Turnout" I have found many examples of this handrail detail

and they all seems to be used with twisted newel posts and balusters. The stair brackets are raised panels with a detailed scroll behind it I feel this is a old England stair detail.

The "Twisted Turnout" creates a very graceful elegant entry on to the staircase,
The baluster profile and alternating pattern makes this look very detailed.

This is a very unique handrail profile, its very wide with 3 step down edges,

 the profile running through the rail caps is a very nice look.
