Got some rough sanding done . The messiest part of the job but I get to see the deal under the old paint and stain. This post and railing are in really bad shape. Railing is so loose that all the joint are cracked . The post has been modified and cut at the base in a way that it basically ruined it and cant be installed the way it was installed originally because the first step was removed and a landing was built. So Im gonna kidnap the post and try to work some magic on it . We dont want to replace the post . Its all about restoration. Saving all the original part is important . #thestairdoctor #stairrestoration #njstairrepair #njwoodworking #njstairs #njstairrestoration #stairdoctor #elvisthestairdoctor #thestairdoctorsavedme #unionnj #unioncounty #stair #stairs #solo #woodworking #oldwoodenstaircases #oldoak #1874 (at Hillside, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B26rHruAQYb/?igshid=r5eksnaome6b

Had to take this #1917 post with me . This massive newel post had about 6 layer of paint. I have it laying next to a standard oak newel post that most people have. Check out the size difference. I need some alone time with this one. This is a 100% solid oak post spun . No add-ons or peices put together. This is the biggest post I've worked on. Weighs about 60 lbs or more. Im getting ready to Strip it. Sand it. And get it ready for stain. #thestairdoctor #fairviewnj #njstairrepair #njstairrestoration #woodrestoration #newjersey #elvisthestairdoctor #paintstripping #sanding #oak #oldwoodenstaircases #oaknewelpost #newelpost #heavy (at Fairview, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B04BfeyAaY1/?igshid=jnzh4h12unpk
