Berkeley Mills Saves the Day, Part II

About 2-3 weeks later, Dave had created from scratch a beautiful railing.  It progresses up the stairs and around the odd corners of the stairwell in steps itself.  Words don’t really describe it, so here are the pictures:

This first picture shows the woodwork at the bottom of the stairs.  You can see the quality of the wood, and the care taken to fit it perfectly into the molding at the bottom of the stairs:

Here's a view looking upwards.  You can see that at the landings in the middle of the stairs, the railing gradually bumps up, fitting together like an upward puzzle:

Here's a closer view of the landing:

And here's a view looking down the stairs.  You can also see where the railing fits back into the wall at the top of the stairs:

 What’s more, the price was far better than I expected (given the price of the beautiful couch).  This was not easy work, and it is beautiful.  

In my mind, this cemented Berkeley Mills as THE place to go for serious and beautiful carpentry.  

I should add that Berkeley Mills is not sponsoring this blog and I have absolutely no connection to them.  Nor would they likely recognize me if they saw me walking down the street; all this work was done a few years ago.  I just love their work and their professional approach (and general lack of pretentiousness).  Just blown away by their work.
