Stair-post Dress-Up

Pursuant to my previous post about finishing carpentry, I dressed up some stair posts with some custom mouldings (all primed MDF).

  • Original post (top of stairs)
  • Pre-fabricated pieces
  • Wrap with 3/4″ MDF
  • Slipped a box on top with a cover
  • Finished post (top of stairs)
  • Finished post (bottom of stairs)

I had to cut 3/4″ off of the railings so that the new post would fit. I used a reciprocating saw for this. I caulked everything and the customer will paint them.
