Choose a width that fits the proportions of your staircase and works with your handrail and mounting system. The 3" and 3¼" options suit streamlined modern staircases, while the 3½", 4", and 5" posts create a heavier, more substantial appearance. Confirm your railing height, attachment points, floor framing, and local building-code requirements before ordering.

Yes. At The Stair Source we can split the post vertically to create a half newel for installation against a wall. The splitting service costs $10; request it by leaving a message in the order-notes section when checking out.

Yes. Because the post arrives unfinished, it should be sanded as needed and sealed with a suitable stain, paint, or clear protective finish after it has adjusted to the installation environment. Natural differences in grain and color are expected in real wood, and changes in moisture can cause wood to expand or contract over time.

A newel post must be firmly anchored to the staircase framing or subfloor because it helps support the handrail and guard system. Installation methods may include a newel mounting kit, lag bolt, concealed fastener, or direct structural connection, depending on the staircase. Professional installation is recommended, and the completed railing should comply with applicable local stair and guard codes.
