Traditional – Victorian – Craftsman – Art Deco
Traditional & Victorian StylesThis is a decorative newel post. That’s what I call this one because it doesn’t support a stair rail.
It’ there just to look pretty.
You can make your own decorative newel post this weekend. Because this page shows you step by step how I built this one.
Craftsman or Victorian StyleReplace your old newel post with something a lot more substantial, like this one. I made it from MDF board and molding scraps.
They do take a little time to build, but are not all difficult.
My inspiration for this one came from the newel post in a 1923 Royal Oak, Michigan, Craftsman style apartment building, just off of Woodward Avenue.
