This House of Forgings 6010 straight handrail is 8 feet long for staircase installations. It follows industry-standard profiles and ships via ground.
Key specs:
- Material: Wood construction with layered joints and opposing grain directions to prevent warping; available in multiple species.
- Dimensions: 8 FT length; standard 6010 profile (2-1/4″ wide by 2-3/8″ high for graspability).
- Code compliance: Meets International Residential Code (IRC) standards for graspable handrail profiles in residential stairs.
- Design: Straight profile; unfinished and ready to stain, free of knots and defects.
- Joints: Our construction consists of butt joints on the top layer with finger joints on the side. Joints are typically every 4 to 6 feet.
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 and white 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.

We updated our basement stairs from old style wooden spindles to black single and double knobs and scrolls. Home Depot had them in 1/2” but my wife wanted the more beefy 3/4”. The knobs were welded in place, therefore; they couldn’t be adjusted which would have made for an easier install. One scroll was off in it’s alignment and Parts replaced it at no cost. The girl on the phone was awesome and answered every question I had. I would do business with Parts again.

Parts are well made and fit together as system. No splinters and really no need to sand unless you want to.
