Trying out the porch spindles

In addition to working on the fridge we have been slowly progressing along on the porch design getting all of the handrail stock and bottom stock cut. It will all be cedar so that it should not rot if the wood gets wet at all. I created a mockup of what the rail and base will look like with the spindles. There were a number of options for the top rail. Here they all are with the one that we are going with last.




Here is a quick picture of one of the top rails after it has been glued up. It is made of two pieces with a rabbet to accept the rail that captures the top of the rails.
