Wood is a natural material and can exhibit slight dimensional variances due to fluctuations in moisture content and weather exposure. Additionally, the cutting tools used to manufacture the handrails may experience minor wear over time.
These factors can occasionally lead to slight inconsistencies when fitting the handrail and fittings together. This is an industry-standard characteristic of wood. Typically, wood glue and mounting hardware are used to join the handrail and fitting, and this seam is sanded smooth. In cases where minor fitting adjustments are needed, the sanding process blends the pieces seamlessly, usually without adding significant time or complexity.
