Just a simple staircase

[Musatoved]

This just simple staircase I did couple years ago

Looks very nice.

I would have liked to seen how the put the knots in the spindles.

How big is the opening in the risers?

 

[Sparktrician]

Very nice!!!  Douglas fir?  What is the tread mounting system that you used?  I really like the spindles. 

[smile]

 

[woodguy7]

Those spindles are cool, i really like them.  I also like the shadow gap at the ends of the treads.  No such think as a simple set of stairs, not ones that look like that anyway.

Nice one,

Woodguy

Thanks What I mean simple is, to what I had to build at this one log home. It was bit complicated compare to this stair case.

Now that stair really impresses me!  [jawdrop]

Having had to scribe treads into old oak beams on a past project I can see the huge amount of care taken in the log cabin stair.
Excellent work, thanks for sharing.

Both stairs in this thread are very very nice!!!  I cant say I like the metal angle iron idea for the straight stairs. What was the reason for attaching the treads in this way when it almost seems as though the very idea for using such CHUNCKY pieces of wood for the Stringers and Treads is to say: "This is a Timber Staircase with a statement!"

For the curved handrailing did you laminate it around a Jig or did you use the staircase itself?

Thanks for sharing

Your work is outstanding.  I look forward to seeing more.

The straight one is very nice.

[Musatoved]

Thanks.
Well why I use angle brackets  and so chunky?  Homeowner asked me if I can build him an open stairs, and he sort-of describe me what he wants so I took his   idea and mede it in to reality, Why I use angel bracket and attache threads like that well to cut cost down and make it simple, It all comes down to $$$  this days , also it rains bit much in this part of country so we have to much moisture in the air. The wood moves bit more than usual, especially on this chunky wood  
Why I called this thread simple staircase  and not Timber staircase? I don't know   ??? ??? [sad]

The curved handrail I use the staircase itself to laminate rail  there were two of them in this house, I took clear fir 4X4 rip in 3/8 strips, ran thru planer glued em up shape it and  sand. It was 25' long

 

[woodguy7]

Eduard, after it comes off the clamps, how do you shape the handrail ?  Is it all done with hand tools or some power tools ?

Cheers, Woodguy.

+1   I'm interested in how you would mould that large curved handrail.

+ the log house Walls look like they have had some sort of caulk or something along the joints? Is this to stop draft and insulation?

Isn't that the chinking you're referring to, JMB?

What's chinking dude!

[Ken Nagrod]

Chinking is the material packed into the joints in a log built structure.  It's sort of like caulk in that it seals, compresses and expands with wood movement.  I've never personally worked on a log built home, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.  [big grin] (American TV humor)
