Box Balustades - Woodworking Talk

Jason W · 06-30-2009, 08:28 PM

We're working on reproducing these box type balustrades for our current project. Made out of Spanish cedar (again)

The design would also work well as a pedestal for a tapered balustrade on top.

Sorry for the crappy pics. My camera is out of order at the moment and I have to use my BB.

*Can one of the mods add the "r" in balustrades on the title?

Pics look fine. Your cuts look very clean. I had to look up a balustrade. Let us see some finished work when you get there please.

Jason looks good. Do you spray that finish on?

No, we're not spraying yet, but funny you mention it. I spoke with our "on site" painter at our project and he's looking for some inside work because of the crappy weather we've been having in the NE.

He's going to start spraying the primer for us from now on and I suspect it may have something to do with carpenters priming his work too

The job is supposed to look like this when we're done, minus the rot

I like the green plywood...way better than tyvek in a windy state like kansas.

Here's some better pictures of the cap before primer, balustrades, and railings.

If you want to edit the title, click edit, "go advanced" you will see your title in the second window down, just change it and that should do it.
