Another stair job finished in Southampton, NY. This look, box newels and square balusters, if very popular in the Hamptons, they all start looking the same.

Impressive work, thanks for sharing.
I'd love to see pics of the building process (in the shop and on-site).

Awsome - what is the tread material?

I think you are looking at the stringers, they look like hickory but are poplar, to be painted.

The treads and flooring are cypress, stained ebony, a little strange looking and I'm sure the maid will spend a good part of every day cleaning the floors.

Box newels are maple, to be painted, balusters are poplar, to be painted and the rails are oak.

Some of these houses are just amazing to work in. Very big and incredibly expensive.

Beautiful job on the balustrade Richard. Don't see too many with square balusters around here. I like 'em.

Richard, Great job - I, too, like the square balusters and have used them for years in new homes that have built - always get comments.

Nice work. It reminds me of alot of the staircases we see in my area in the 1940's houses.

Great work Richard!

I like the box newels, it is interesting how you finish your risers on the wall, I always had to put a board on the wall and 45 all the risers to the one board, and make it fit top and bottom. Your way looks much simpler and quicker. Jim

This staircase was designed by the architect and is rather different than the norm. The top flight has two steel strongbacks under it to help support what would be a very weak situation if they where built only of wood.

Great work as usual Richard, I wish I could be a helper of yours to learn your many secrets. I have a bunch of questions, please check your P.M's.

Nice work, I love seeing the natural wood state of construction before everything is finished. The Hamptons should keep you busy out there. Thanks for sharing.
