Mounting this handrail to a wood newel or a wall? Use our S-9600 Rail Bolt Kit to make that connection.
Ships as one solid piece in the length you order (bending rail ships as one long piece with its layers together). May arrive slightly over length, so plan to trim. Lengths over 8 ft ship by freight with a long-length fee that free shipping doesn't cover.

This House of Forgings 6500 series wood handrail features a 1-9/16″ height and 2-5/8″ width, designed for staircase installations.

Key specs:

Material: Solid wood; available in Red oak, White oak, and Poplar.
Dimensions: 1-9/16″ height, 2-5/8″ width grip, 2″ width base
Code compliance: Meets International Residential Code (IRC) standards for graspable handrail profiles in residential stairs.
Design: 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 is crafted from solid wood with multiple layers and joints to prevent warping, 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.
