Designer Rail - 43mm diam - 37 deg Bend (Vic Ash)

Description

Where would you normally use a timber handrail fitting?
As part of a handrail on a staircase when needing to change from the horizontal plane to a 37 degree incline/decline (most stairs are pitched at 37 degrees).

What is it made out of?
Plantation grown Australian Oak (depending on availability it is either Victorian Ash or Tasmanian Oak).

How do you fix it to the handrail?
Drill the end of the handrail (with a 16mm drill bit), then using a 16mm multi groove dowel, glue the rail to the pre-drilled bend. A small amount of sanding will be required to blend where they join.

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.
