the parts needed to build an interior hardwood railing. Finding
out what is available to ease the installation is half the

Spindles, pickets or Balusters are the same thing. They come
in a myriad of sizes, patterns and woods if you are willing

The main post or "newel
post" is the boss... the big guy that holds up and
secures the entire railing system. Its important because without

handrails and all the little pieces that finish off the
job without a great struggle.
