Pop-pop’s wife Nana recently bought a doll house at an estate sale and is fixing it up. She asked me for a stairwell railing and here is how it came out. The balusters were purchased and I made the rest.
The newel post were turned from maple. The skew was a planer blade and the first lathe tool that I made.
Handrails are 1/4” oak dowels with a flat planed on the bottom.
If I were going to do this again, I would make a drill guide with a groove for the stock and use an egg-beater drill. That should reduce the fuzzies at the hole mouths.
