Classic Wood Balusters

Classic & Traditional Wood Balusters

Classic wood balusters feature traditional turned profiles made on a lathe from solid wood. The process creates the rounded details, tapers, and classic shapes that define traditional staircase design.

Two main top styles are available:

• Pin-Top Balusters — rounded dowel that fits into a hole drilled in the underside of a non-plowed handrail
• Square-Top Balusters — square top that fits into the plow (routed channel) of a plowed handrail

Match the top style to your handrail for a proper install.

We offer a range of traditional turned patterns in both rake (angled base) and level (flat base) versions. Each baluster is unfinished, sanded, and ready for paint or stain. We keep these classic styles in stock across multiple species so you can get the right profile without long delays.
