Box Newel Post Construction
Box newel posts are crafted from multiple layers or slices of the same species of wood, assembled together to form the product. This layered construction ensures better color matching on the outer layer for a uniform finish, incorporates alternating grain patterns within the layers to prevent warping over time, and reduces costs by using multiple sections for the inner core instead of a single solid piece.

We just finished assembling the unfinished railing and it looks beautiful. The posts are all that I bought from CSP and hoping the finishing goes well and everything matches. Customer service was a amazingly helpful with my questions.

Newel was exactly what we wanted. Grain and color of wood is consistent and took stain well. Price match to a competitor was met and shipment time was quick.
