Oak Ball Top Newel Post","description":"\u003cp\u003eA newel post is the structural anchor of a stair balustrade, terminating the handrail at the bottom of the flight, at landings and at changes in direction. Everything else in the railing assembly depends on it: the post carries the lateral load transferred through the rail and the balusters, so it is fastened into framing or into a stringer rather than simply set on a tread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis post is turned in oak, a dense closed-grain hardwood common in residential stair work for its stability and for the way it accepts stain. The ball top is a finished decorative terminal, so no cap or finial is added after installation. Machined square at the base for anchoring and hardware layout, it is supplied unfinished for staining or painting once the balustrade has been fitted and the rail cuts are dressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid oak, a closed-grain hardwood that machines cleanly and takes stain evenly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurned ball top provides a finished terminal without a separate cap or finial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare base section for anchoring to framing and for consistent rail and bracket layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServes as the load-bearing anchor point for handrail and baluster runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied unfinished, ready for stain, clear coat or paint after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually, so starting, landing and angle posts can be ordered to suit the stair layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting newel at the bottom of a residential stair flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanding and intermediate posts where a handrail changes direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalcony and loft balustrade runs over open stairwells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement post in stair renovation and rail rebuilds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching oak balustrade assemblies using wood balusters and handrail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Newel post, ball top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfinished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stair and balcony balustrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-1\/2\" x 58\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ARCH Building Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55048732344659,"sku":"O4503","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/3-1-2-in-x-58-in-oak-ball-top-newel-post-o4503.webp?v=1790259860","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/es\/products\/3-1-2-in-x-58-in-oak-ball-top-newel-post-o4503","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
