Description

Q 1. Where would you normally use timber newel post caps ?

On top of a 90 x 90mm post on a staircase to dress it up.

Q 2. What is it made out of ?

Plantation grown American Oak.

Q 3. What are the important dimensions ?

Overall : 60mm Height x 142mm Width x 142mm Depth

On the bottom there is a 90 x 90mm rebate that allows the cap to fit over the post.

Q 4. How should you finish it ?

If looking for a natural finish, then a clear lacquer will be fine; or you can use a stain to achieve your desired colour then use a clear lacquer to finish it off.

If wanting to paint, a water based primer/undercoat is not a necessity (although it wouldn’t hurt), but at least 2 coats of the final colour is a must.
