Newel Posts

StairPartsUSA.com. features both Amish-crafted newel posts and contractor grade newels. Our Amish-crafted box newels and turned newels give your stairway the look and feel of a fine piece of quality furniture.   Our Amish-crafted box newels feature lock miter joints and solid wood construction.  There is no veneer in these box newels.  Hand sanded?  You bet...every one of our Amish-crafted box newels are hand sanded to make your job easier.  Thick walls?  of course.  Our Amish-crafted box newels feature thick walls to create a box newel that is as durable as it is beautiful.  Our Amish box newels are a beautiful addition to your home.  If you want the very best in box newel posts, check us out.  Our Amish-crafted box newels are available in Red Oak, White Oak, Maple, Brazilian Cherry, American Cherry, Hickory, Alder, and Black Walnut.

Our contractor grade box newel posts offer an elegant look at a value price.  Unlike our Amish-crafted box newels, our contractor grade box newels are not hand sanded and contain veneers to provide a beautiful box newel at a lower cost.  You will probably find that our contractor grade box newels are as the same quality that many of our competitors offer as their premium box newel.  They are sanded well, but not hand sanded.  They offer an outstanding value for those wanting a beautiful box newel at a more affordable price. 

The two basic categories of balustrade systems are the over-the-post and post-to-post systems.  An over-the-post newel system features a "pin-top" style newel and uses handrail fittings to join the handrail pieces together running over the newel post.  The over-the-post system gives the staircase a clean, uninterrupted look from top to bottom.  The post-to-post newel system features a newel post with a "block" top.  In an over-the-post newel system, there are smaller (usually 5" to 6") block tops often called starting newels and larger block (10" to 13") tops often called landing newels or transition newels.  The landing newels or transition newels allow the handrail to enter at one height and exit the newel post at another height. 

Whichever newel post you choose your stairway is sure to be more beautiful with stair parts from StairPartsUSA.com. Our Amish-crafted turned newel posts are beautiful pieces of furniture as well as functional stair parts.  The Amish are revered as some of the best woodworkers in the world.  On our Amish turned newels, skilled craftsmen spend as much time sanding the newel posts as they do turning them.  This means that there is little sanding for you to do before finishing.  Standard newel posts represent a great value, but are not crafted to the same exacting standards as our Amish turned newel posts.  They will require additional sanding before staining.  For those who want a more contemporary look, check out out selection of iron newels.  If you have any questions, please give us a call.  (800) 403-1480.
