Wood Balusters

Wood balusters in the Architect's Choice Series are custom made per order. Below is a sampling of custom balusters that we have created on our CNC lathe. Custom turned balusters are great for a unique style.

When considering baluster style, consider:

  • Square top balusters: A sturdy appearance. They take longer to install, so typically cost more.
  • Pin top balusters: An elegant appearance. They are drilled into the rail, so they are quite strong and install faster than square top.
  • Custom features can be added to square baluster such as a chamfer to the edges, or a V or U dado down the center, or as a ring.
  • Customer features for turned baluster can be fluting or a twist.

Rails

  • Like Architect's Choice Series wood balusters, all Architect's Choice Series rails are made custom per order.
  • The rails shown below that are named by letter are some of our custom rail designs with unique profiles or details, but have been requested a number of times.
  • The others that are marked only by dimension were made for one custom or reproduction job, but will be less expensive than a new custom design since we already have the tools for that particular shape.
