Basic Arts And Crafts Rail In Remodel
Here is the rail I finished this week... and don't worry Gus, I'll post a few process pics later.
Nothing too fancy, but the method I use with the iron might be interesting to some.

Re: Basic Arts And Crafts Rail In Remodel
Dang Bass, that is one nice looking ballistrade. Iron ballusters epoxied in?

Re: Basic Arts And Crafts Rail In Remodel
Awesome work.
Are the iron balusters pre-painted, or did you order them unfinished and send them to a painting shop? Did you go with the epoxy method for installation? |

Re: Basic Arts And Crafts Rail In Remodel
Thanks for the heads up on the future pics.
You post like a soap opera, leave us wanting to tune in tomorrow. ![]() That does look nice. Curious to see if those posts are mitered or solid. The tops look kinda endgrainy but hard to tell. If they are capped, I look forward to seeing how you did that. Guess I'll be tuning in later to see. I won't touch that dial.

Re: Basic Arts And Crafts Rail In Remodel
Suweet bass! I love the arts and craft/ greene and greene type stuff.
I'm a rookie at ID, what wood species is that? It almost looks like DFir but I assume white oak?

Re: Basic Arts And Crafts Rail In RemodelQuote:
The owner is a photographer and took some process pics while I worked, but she has not emailed them to me yet... so right now I just have the "after pics" I took. When I get the during pics I'll explain my method. |

Re: Basic Arts And Crafts Rail In Remodel
Not to be shamed by the "How Much Would it Cost" questions that get such a "welcome" here but, How much did they pay? Just curious what a job like this goes for in your area.
The work looks great |
