the parts needed to build an interior hardwood railing. Finding
out what is available to ease the installation is half the
battle so we're slowly adding information to help you along
the way... I do say slowly because I haven't found out how

Spindles, pickets or Balusters are the same thing. They come
in a myriad of sizes, patterns and woods if you are willing
to dig far enough. The typically box store choice is 1 5/16"
in size, oak, square top and bottom, and has a turned pattern
in the middle. Here's what you need to know.. spindles

The main post or "newel
post" is the boss... the big guy that holds up and
secures the entire railing system. Its important because without
strength and proper installation your whole railing system
will fall apart.

handrails and all the little pieces that finish off the
job without a great struggle.
