Simple cherry handrails
I haven't posted any woodworking lately, so here is a simple project. The new house we moved into was missing hand rails on the steps to the split level kitchen/living room.
I decided to use a piece of cherry and follow the grain. The primary cut was completed with the band saw, then formed with the spoke shave and draw knife.
Being rough sawn, they were planed on the flat side with a #408 vbm.
Finish is lacquer
Hardware is from the big box store.

Very nice work, Don!
Don't anthropomorphize your handplanes. They hate it when you do that. - OldTools Archive -
How did you attach it to the wall? What hardware did you use?
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

When we were moving I realized I couldn't find my stud finder, so I ordered a new one. What a piece of crap! I wound up going back to the "tap with a hammer and listen for the stud". That was far more accurate.

Nice looking rail Don. I threw away my stud finder because of the inaccuracy. Instead, I now use the StudPop which is magnetic and locates nails or screws and hangs onto the screw with the magnet.
Here is one source.
