    Nice curves, Richard! And another curved one to the basement, too? Must be quite a property! Your work is just beautiful and I'm glad you share it with us.

    Richard, thank you so much for showing us these picks... It's definitatly humbling to see your work... So do you get to use that cool router thingy you recently bought... has it saved you time with the railings? Just curious
    I can pay retail anywhere, so how's your service?

    Cool stuff, Richard. I'm envious about your craftsmanship. Dave.

    I know it would sound almost arrogant if I wrote "Just as usual, nothing special". But actually, to your standards, Richard, it's nothing special, but just as usual:

    EXCELLENT WORK! VERY IMPRESSIVE!

    Thanks for sharing,

    Richard, You da' Man! Beautiful job. I like the way the lower steps are wider on the left side. They are aren't they? Very elegant looking. Alan

    Thanks for your kind comments. A project like this is mentally difficult because there is so much to think about. It was a blank canvas with no plans from the architect or builders. The bottom three treads were an added feature to make things work.
    Alan, all the treads are larger on the left side, but yes the bottom three are even larger than the rest.
    The treads are white oak, the the stringers and risers are birch, to be painted.
    The stairs into the basement will be easier. The curved wall is the same wall as the main stair are on, so I still have the form framed up in my shop. It will be narrower and it will not need the bottom steps like the main stairs.
    Thanks again for looking.

    Richard
