Another finished project! We love how this custom modern staircase with stained and painted poplar wood parts turned out! It features box newels made with an optional Cambridge cap. It also has our impressive 6519 handrail profile and Ribbon series balusters that create a nice blend of wooden and iron parts. Interested in a similar style staircase for your home?

Wood Handrail 6519
2-5/8″ x 3″ handrail
Ribbon Series
Ribbon series iron balusters have 1/2″ square smooth face bar. The ribbon twist detail is flared out wider than the twist on standard basket twist balusters and has some texture.
Box Newel Posts
Box newel posts are manufactured using 3/4″ thick solid hardwood for all four sides. These posts are constructed with lock miter joints at the corners. The flat panel and raised panel versions are made using true stile & rail construction, not just a routed out pocket. Our posts are a piece of furniture.
See below for different size options.
All our box newel posts are proudly made in the USA.
Wood Stair Treads
Wood stair treads are offered in a standard 1-1/32″ finished thickness after surfacing and sanding. Extra thick hardwood stair treads for open rise staircases are available in any thickness. The most popular over sized wood tread sizes are 1-3/4″ and 2″ thick. We have produced treads as thick as 4″. Any stair tread thicker than 1-3/4″ will require face glue lamination(s) to meet the desired finished dimension.
