there's no standards,
as long as your happy that's what matters...in a 100 years who'll know.....?

That looks classy to me. Hop that getting it into position goes well!

 

[sammy.se]

looks great!

I was in the roof space of Lincoln Cathedral a few years ago, compared to that you’re a natural! Well done.

I'd be proud of that. I like the stopped chamfers - nicely done sir.

Are you going to peg it?

 

[gee69]

Yep. Just got to pluck up the courage to drill it

 

[Oddbod70]

Don't be so modest mate If that's the first time time you've done that a couple of holes and pegs will be a doddle! I'm darn sure I couldn't have done that as neatly on the first go.

I'm much more used to working in metal where you can just weld a hole up and try again if something goes wrong

Lovely work! You should be pleased. Once that's been draw bored it should look very tidy indeed.

Me and MrsG got them up onto the landing yesterday afternoon. Just another 7 feet straight up to go.

 

[gee69]

Pretty much there now, was an easy lift in the end with just the 2 of us and another DIY contraption.
Very pleased with the result, just need BC to take a look before making good.

 

[AJB Temple]

Well done. You just need to do the staircase now.....

I was in two minds about the relief chamfering when I saw it in your earlier post, but seeing it at the top of the stairs I think its a good idea. Avoids splinters on sharp corners!

 

[gee69]

Yeah it will be grabbed quite a lot just at the top of the stairs.
To that end any recommendations for what to treat it with to avoid a build up of greasy hand marks?
Something that does not prevent it naturally changing colour would be favourite.

The newel post and 70's handrail will be tackled in the future

 

[AJB Temple]

I would not treat it with anything. I made the mistake at my wife's request to put a finish on a timber framed extension built as a music room. I hate it. Bare wood looks far more authentic for beams.

 

[Bm101]

You must be well pleased with that! Great job!
I'm with AJB on finish.
A quick sand every 6 months on the tiny area that will get handprints.
Just my opinion of course.

 

[Owd Jockey]

Nice work.

Is that an MG Midget poking out behind the curtains?

 

[gee69]

Well the Building inspector just left and is happy. Complimented me on the job, so I'm chuffed.

Nice work.

It is
