The House of Forgings 16.3.26 Level Base Shoe is designed for 9/16″ Tuscan round iron balusters and is used on flat surfaces. Made from cast iron, this base shoe has a 1-1/4″ base. It includes a set screw which is tightened using a 3mm Allen wrench (not included). These base shoes are purely decorative and do not secure the baluster in place.
