A newel post is the structural anchor of a stair balustrade, carrying the handrail at the bottom of a flight, at landings and at turns while resisting the lateral load that balusters alone cannot. This one is turned from oak, the traditional hardwood for interior stair parts because of its hardness, straight grain and the way it accepts stain.

Newel posts are fastened to framing or to the stringer and floor structure below, then the handrail is attached to the post with rail bolts or fittings. Oak stair parts are typically supplied unfinished so the post can be sanded and stained or clear-coated to match treads, handrail and balusters on site.
