This House of Forgings 6010 bendable handrail is 6 feet long for curved staircase or balcony installations. It follows industry-standard profiles and ships via ground.
Key specs:
- Material: Wood construction with 7-10 vertical slices for flexibility; available in multiple species.
- Dimensions: 6 FT length; standard 6010-B profile (2-1/4″ wide by 2-3/8″ high for graspability when bent).
- Code compliance: Meets International Residential Code (IRC) standards for graspable handrail profiles in residential stairs.
- Design: Bendable profile for curves; unfinished and ready to stain, free of knots and defects.
Usage Tips: Although ready to stain, inspect for handling marks or smudges and lightly sand with 220-grit or finer paper, then wipe clean with a tack cloth before applying stain to ensure even absorption.
Construction: Handrail construction includes joints and layered sections with grains oriented against each other to counteract natural bending tendencies. Wood typically warps in one direction, so this method, common across the industry, minimizes potential issues. In addition, many species aren’t available in long single pieces and the only method to construct the handrail is with multiple layers. Also note that wood is an organic product with natural variances in shade or texture, which are inherent features rather than defects. We install and stain these same products daily with no issues.
Availability and lead times:
- Red oak: Stocked and ready for immediate shipping.
- All other species (custom options): Made to order in an Amish woodmill with 2-3 weeks production time plus shipping; no returns or exchanges on customs.




Olivia Lynch –
I ordered this in a different wood species, not Red Oak. Christina was very clear upfront about the 2-3 week milling time before it would ship.

This 6ft bending rail is great material. Just remember, actually bending and laminating it properly takes skill or a good carpenter.

I was so happy to find this bending rail in Red Oak as a stocked item!
