Pin top balusters are used in interior stair and railing layouts. Arnold Wood Turning produces these components so they align with newel posts, handrails, and surrounding trim.
Using Pin Top Balusters in Stair & Railing Projects
In many staircases, pin top balusters are chosen when a slimmer upper connection or a specific rail detail is required. They’re frequently installed in straight runs, landings, and balcony sections where the top pin engages a plowed or drilled rail while the lower portion ties into the tread or shoe rail. This helps keep the system consistent.
Mahogany, maple, and poplar are commonly used wood species because they machine predictably and finish well. Each species supports different design directions.
For additional baluster styles and complementary components, you can browse our wood spindles or view similar stair projects in the Architectural Wood Products Gallery. Newel options are also available through our broader stair and architectural product lines.
