Engineered Wood Construction
Engineered wood is a cost-effective option that combines high-quality appearance with practical design. It uses outer layers of the primary wood species (like Red Oak or White Oak) for a consistent, attractive finish, while the core is made from filler wood such as poplar. This layered approach ensures better color matching on the visible surfaces and reduces overall cost by incorporating less expensive materials inside. Engineered wood is stable, resistant to environmental changes, and ideal for products where visual appeal is prioritized without compromising strength.

Please do not attach cap or trims on the newel. Leave it to the installer.
