This House of Forgings 6210 bendable handrail is 10 feet long for staircase installations. It follows industry-standard profiles.
Key specs:
- Material: Wood construction with 7-10 vertical slices for flexibility and layered joints with opposing grain directions to prevent warping; available in multiple species.
- Dimensions: 10 FT length; 2-5/8″ width, 2-3/8″ height.
- Code compliance: Meets International Residential Code (IRC) standards for graspable handrail profiles in residential stairs.
- Design: Bendable traditional 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: Wood handrail will contain some joints and is constructed in layers. This type of construction puts the grain going against each other in order to prevent potential future warping. All wood bends has the potential to bend and when it does it typically bends one single direction which is why virtually all handrail produced will have the construction method similar to ours and aims to prevent wood warping. Also many wood species simply do not come in these extreme lengths. Our handrail gets installed daily in custom and production homes with zero issues and stains beautifully.
Availability and lead times:
- Red oak: Stocked and ready for immediate shipping.
- All other species (including exotics, custom options): Made to order with up to 4 weeks production time plus shipping; no returns or exchanges on customs.
Shipping: This can only ship heavy freight due to the length. Anything over 8 ft can not ship ground. Contact us for more info.




Julius Underwood –
Great bending stock for our 10ft curve.
Inez Thatcher –
The individual wood plies were all excellent quality, which resulted in a very smooth and even curve once laminated around our form.
Harlan Singleton –
This was just what we needed for the curved outer stringer of our half-turn staircase. It allowed for a beautiful, continuous sweep.
