We just finished these large stair newels for a customer in the Chicago area. They are crafted from cherry and measure eight inches wide at the base. I typically turn my over the post newels 44 inches high. The top is 5 1/2″ inches in diameter with a 3/4″ pin to attach the newel cap (also shown).
The cap has the same profile as a 6701 handrail from L J Smith Stair Manufacturing. The installer is responsible to cut a “pie” shaped cut from the cap and attach the hand rail fitting.
Other stair newel images can be seen here in my Picassa account.
