Beautiful Homes features both Amish-crafted turned newel posts and standard newel posts. The Amish-crafted newel posts are of higher quality and sanded to a much greater extent than the standard newel posts. We believe our Amish-crafted newel posts are amoung the finest in the world. Our standard newel posts represent a great value, but are not as meticulously crafted as our Amish newel posts. Pictured at left is an Amish-craftsman hand-sanding a newel post following turning. All newel posts not designated as "Amish-crafted" are standard newel posts. |

Amish-Craftsmen blend old world Craftsmanship with modern technology to create some of the finest stair parts available. Pictured above is a lathe used to turn newel posts and balusters. The Amish adhere to a code that stresses a more self-sufficient life style. They are prohibited from using electricity in their home, and use diesel generators to power their machinery. |

Unlike newel posts that are shipped un-sanded following
their turning the Amish-crafted newel posts are hand-sanded.

Following sanding, our Amish-crafted newel posts
