Ezirail 50mm diameter Handrails (American Oak) - Bulk Buy / Random Lengths

Description

This is a bulk-buy product sold by the metre. It will be supplied in random lengths. It has a minimum purchase quantity 25 metres.
If you require set lengths or a smaller quantity of rail, this product can also be purchased in individual lengths.

Where would you normally use timber handrails ?
As a handrail, either attached to the wall or as part of the balustrade on a staircase.

What is it made out of ?
Plantation grown American Oak.
The rail is actually made up of 2 pieces of timber that have been laminated together.
The reason why this is done is because American Oak is not available in sizes greater than 50mm.
For us to finish 50mm in diameter we need to start with material that is 4 to 5mm thicker, which means that the only way we can achieve that is to glue 2 pieces together.
The glues we use are suitable for interior application only. If you wish to use a round handrail for exterior application, then we suggest you go with our 43mm Designer Rail.
The material may be a mixture of solid and finger-jointed (refer photos).
The grade of timber that we use is referred to as SELECT, and is the highest quality available.
It is relatively clear and free of defects, but a small amounts of gum vein, surface checking (splits), tight knots and black specks are acceptable within the SELECT grading rules.
These defects give the timber its character, and will not be considered in the case of a refund being requested.

How should you finish it ?
If looking for a natural finish, then a clear lacquer will be fine; or you can use a stain to achieve your desired colour then use a clear lacquer to finish it off.
