We specialize in the custom design and fabrication
of solid wood handrails. Each of our handrails is made to
order and thus perfectly tailored to our customer's specifications.
The Process
An accurate drawing is all we need to fabricate any type of railing
in our shop. (We are also happy to assist the architect in designing
the stairs or to comment on plans or drawings.) After we receive
a preliminary drawing, we will discuss details and local code requirements
with you. We'll then provide a CAD drawing of your stair - detailing
the centerline of the rail and the placement of all components -
for your approval. After your approval, we can begin work on your
custom handrail.
The Design
Because we use the Tangent Rail System - a time-tested method of
cutting the rail out of a solid block of wood - we can make a handrail
to fit any profile. In fact, we specialize
in transitions of unusual sizes and complex shapes. The graceful,
fluid line of one of our custom handrails can mask difficult changes
of pitch or radius with elegance - without newel posts or goosenecks.
Our method enables us to fashion beautiful descending ("dropped")
volutes and perfect reproductions for your restoration work, among
other complicated handrail types.
The Material
We can work in whatever wood species is requested. We ensure that
each of our handrails is of premium quality by fabricating all of
the material in our own shop.
The Result
Our custom-made solid wood handrails are the product of choice
for the most demanding architects, designers, and consumers. We
can ship anywhere in the world and guarantee our railing to fit
the specifications you provide us with.
