Large diameter wood balusters are used when a staircase or railing needs a more substantial part than a standard profile. Arnold Wood Turning produces these components so they tie in with larger newel posts, rails, and surrounding architectural details.
Using Large Diameter Wood Balusters in Interior & Exterior Projects
In many projects, large diameter balusters are selected for feature staircases, open landings, or rail sections. They help balance heavier handrails or larger newels for a coordinated look across the full stair or balcony run.
Cedar, cypress, mahogany, and maple are frequently chosen for these larger profiles. These species accept a variety of finishes and are practical for both interior installations and select covered exterior applications.
