    Description

    These never used/surplus cherry spindles were made to match the antiques ones I used in a home bldg. project (4th pic)
    These repros closely match originals from salvaged stairway in Oliver Ames III Mansion (Governor of MA 1888-1892) on Commonwealth Ave in Boston (last 2 pics).
    Selling ala carte/bundled - you name it!
    Qty 7 - Concave/Convex alternating bands
    Qty 5 - Concave bands (one is now comprised of 2 halves)
    Qty 4 - Ogee bands
    Price above is for the entire lot of spindles only. Dimension shown in pics.
    Spindles would also make great candle sticks or other decorative accents- use your imagination!
    Need a staircase section for a remodel? I can make that happen also.
    I have surplus 125 YO cherry antique raked (and straight) arched stringer parts which an be used with my spindles (or maybe yours?). The raked incline angle is fixed at 28.5-29 degrees which is lower than modern stairs (think of stairways found in old grand hotel lobbies, courthouses, museums, or Gone With the Wind mansions). If you have a relatively short run, like at bottom of walled-in basement stairs, you can still make this work with modern stair angles and never notice  (I did it, see my basement stairs pics).
    Common building code says a handrail height of 34-38" above tread nosing is legit, and its OK if it varies within that range.
    Raked pieces (on angle length ): 42.375", 37.25", 37.25", 37.25", 37.25", 18.25", & 5.5" (all 2.25" wide x 5.25" tall w/ 5.37" C2C on holes).
    Curved piece is 17.25"
    Straight pieces: 20.87", 27", & 29.375" (all 2.25" wide x 4.5" tall w/ 4.87" C2C on holes).
    The arched spindle connector pieces do NOT need to be refinished, just use touch up markers and coat with eith oil and wax or spray additional lacquer coat.
    Also have 2 pieces of handrail (now stripped) : 33.5" and 18.25" (2.75" wide x 4.25" tall).
    For complete system,  use 2 raked pieces (top and bottom) plus spindle, plus handrail you are at:  5.25" + 19" + 5.25 + 4.25" =  33.75" so to get to stairway code just add sleeper board under bottom raked piece- easy!
    I also have 5 original cherry treads (64" x 14" x 1.5") and qty 7 risers (64" wide x 5" rise x 1.5"). These have character ( ie., nail holes and staple holes where the original carpet and carpet retainer rod  HW went), so you might want to use some filler and touch up as needed, or keep original character as is!
    For all items I will consider a selling a bundled mix of parts to suite your needs (email me).
    I also have a couple original spindles left so if you are short 1 or 2 for you needs I may consider.
    Im not an everyday email checker, so give me a few days to reply, Thanks!
