I thought it would be neat (different) to turn a baluster with a round or tapered base instead of the more traditional square base. These are two of the ideas I tried. The first is simply a tapered foot base with a length of square . The square and tapered foot are horizontally oriented The top taper is elongated to follow the handrail angle – “rake” angle. The newel used is my fluted N105.
The second idea was to use rope twists above and below a square center. The square section follows the rake angle. The second taller baluster has a longer foot.
