Square Oak Newel Post","description":"\u003cp\u003eA solid red oak newel post in a plain square profile, used as the structural anchor point for a stair balustrade. The newel carries the handrail at the bottom of a flight, at landings and at turns, and takes the lateral load that the balusters alone cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe square section is left unturned and unfluted, which suits Craftsman, Shaker and contemporary stair work and also gives a clean blank for a site-applied box cap or ball top. Oak takes stain evenly and holds crisp arrises where the post is mortised or drilled for rail and fillet, and it can equally be primed and painted where the post is part of a two-tone stair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosts of this type are normally installed over a mounting hardware kit or dowel screw fixed to the framing, then trimmed at the top after the rail height is set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid oak construction, a dense closed-grain hardwood that machines cleanly and holds fasteners in the mortise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain square profile with no turning, suited to Craftsman, Shaker and modern balustrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServes as the structural anchor for the handrail and balusters rather than a decorative element only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts stain, clear finish or paint; oak grain takes penetrating stain evenly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare top can be left plain or fitted with a separate ball, urn or box cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be cut to length from the top to suit finished rail height and stair pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually by the piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting newel at the bottom step of an interior stair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanding and intermediate posts where a handrail changes direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerminal post where a balustrade meets a wall or floor level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond-floor balcony and open-well guard railing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement post in stair renovation and balustrade retrofit work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlank stock for site-built caps and custom post detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Newel post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Square, plain (unturned)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfinished, ready to stain or paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interior stair and balcony balustrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piece\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 3-1\/2\" x 56\"\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":55048731918675,"sku":"O4075","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/3-1-2-in-x-3-1-2-in-x-56-in-square-oak-newel-post-o4075.webp?v=1790259854","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/3-1-2-in-x-3-1-2-in-x-56-in-square-oak-newel-post-o4075","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
