Barley Wood can make newel posts and spindles for your decorative staircase. Here are a few examples of just some of the turning work that we have been involved with. Remember we can copy existing spindles or newel posts to match existing spindles and newel posts and caps. (Click on each picture for a more detailed view). 
Above are staircases made using spindles made from tulipwood 150mm diameter newels with 50mmm spindles in stained tulipwood finish.
You can also see our sapele wood 94mm newels with 41mm spindles
and newels turned in American Black Walnut with Oak newels and Oak fluted spindles
European Oak newels and twisted spindles - see our newel caps and posts section on the website for more information.
Barley Wood can copy existing spindles and newel posts to match existing newels and spindles for your staircase. Or we can supply our own designs from our extensive range available. These are also available in many different kinds of wood. Please take a look at our newel post and spindles sections on the website for more ideas, or give us a call for more information.
