Stair Railing Baluster Replacement

Here we show a couple pictures of a project we just completed that involved replacing some oak balusters with forged iron.

We had to replace the handrail also, because the holes drilled for the existing oak balusters were too large for the new iron balusters.

This homeowner opted to go with scroll type balusters, spaced  conservatively which gives a very nice look.
