Poplar balusters are one of the most straightforward choices for interior stair and railing layouts, especially when painting. At Arnold Wood Turning, we produce these components so they line up cleanly with rails, newel posts, and surrounding trim.

Using Poplar Balusters in Stair & Railing Projects

Poplar balusters help keep spacing consistent on a staircase while contributing to an orderly look across stair runs, landings, and balcony sections.

Poplar is frequently selected for painted systems or uniform finishes. It’s also easier to coordinate these balusters with other interior wood elements, such as casing, baseboard, or painted newel posts than other woods.

If you’d like to see how balusters are used alongside other stair parts, you can review our wood balusters and spindles category or browse the Architectural Wood Products Gallery for project examples.
