Choosing Your Hemlock Newel Posts
Your newel posts are the most important structural components of your balustrade, and Hemlock is an outstanding timber choice for the job. Despite being a softwood, its dense grain gives it incredible strength and stability, ensuring your staircase remains solid and secure for decades.
Because Hemlock is naturally resin-free and features a beautifully smooth, straight grain, it accepts finishes exceptionally well. Whether you are aiming for a crisp painted finish, a rich dark stain, or a clear varnish to highlight its natural pale blonde tones, our Hemlock newel posts provide the perfect blank canvas. Choose from our wide range of classic and contemporary styles below.
