Wooden stair balusters are key components of an interior railing system. Arnold Wood Turning focuses on producing balusters that fit into stair layouts and align with surrounding newel posts, rails, and trim.
Using Wooden Stair Balusters in Interior Projects
In most interior staircases, wooden balusters are the repeating elements that connect the handrail to the tread or shoe rail. They dictate the spacing, support the rail, and shape how the staircase looks from different angles. Choosing the right style and species are important steps in planning a stair upgrade or new build.
Cypress, mahogany, maple, oak, and poplar are commonly used for stair balusters. These species accept a range of finishes, making it easier to coordinate with stairs, floors, or other woodwork. Each wood type supports different design directions, from painted systems to wood-forward interiors.
