Jericho Stairs and Rails, (pics).

[Richard Wolf]

Maybe you remember the curved stairs I posted a few weeks ago.
We finially finished the basement stairs and all the rails. Glad to be done, way to much pressure to get done. Almost to big a job for my son and I to do.
Enjoy the pictures:

Outstanding, Richard! The new homeowner is very lucky they had you to do this work!!

[Todd Davidson]

Hey Richard~

Well done!! So, is this the job to be topped or have you conquered harder ones?

In peace, Todd

This is the big one in terms of time, money and scope. To much time to spend on one job for my son and I. Now I'm so backed up with other work I may never see light of day.
Thanks to all.

Beautiful work Richard, you & your son must be very proud. Do you also apply the finish to it?

[Roger Everett]

Looking good Richard. Lota bent lam. work, I did see that one short section at that raised room, musta been the boring part. Bet you're ready for a couple staight rail jobs, to give the brain a rest. Getting a rail glued and put in the bracket forms and all the clamps on gets pretty intense, with the rush-rush. Take a day off for rest, but be in all the earlier Monday morning.
Congrats on a well done job

Wow Richard, you and your son have outdone yourselves on this one. The stairs and railings are in a league of their own. Heck, the basement stairs and rails alone are nicer than most houses would ever see for the main staircase. Stunning, awesome, and a whole raft of other superlatives come to mind.

Life won't be worth living! Utterly beautiful work.........beautiful!

[Steve Clardy]

Well done Richard!

[Gary Herrmann]

Those are BASEMENT stairs? Holy cr@p. Wow. Very impressive work, Richard.

[Chris Barton]

Rich! This may be your best work to date! I was watching an episode of TOH a couple of weeks ago where they did an on site lamination for the rails and I instantly thought of you. Do you do that sort of thing as well?

[Corey Hallagan]

Richard, beautiful work as always! Love seeing you and your sons work.

Richard,

I've been out of touch with SMC lately due to my job, but I just had to reply to this.
The way the curve of the rail works with the curve at floor level is awesome, it must be a challenge to say the least to work out the baluster locations to work with the curved rail!
A curved railing like that needs a Scarlett O'Hara walking down them.

Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding craftsmanship Richard! :) :) :)

Do you "sign" your work? Hope so. A nice inlaid or lasered plate, or ?......

I was thinking of the song "Stairway To Heaven" then read that they went down. Outstanding job on them Richard. Congrats to you and your son.

[Mark Singer]

That is crafstmanship! Beauliful work.....it just flows...

[Alex Berkovsky]

Richard,
As usual, amazing craftsmanship. Yesterday I went to the WW show at Hofstra and met Allan from J&A Lumber. He seems to know you and the and the great work that you and your son do.
Jericho is a nice area... If the owner has any HS age kids, I bet my wife taught them Spanish.

[Jeffrey Makiel]

Rich,
That looks like one very difficult job. In addition to your skills, you must have a huge shop too. The design is very graceful and elogant.

Your work is at the top end, and I hope you post more of your projects in the future.

I'm also posting my reply late so I can bump it back to the front of the line so we can all look at it again. :)

thanks for posting the pics...Jeff

[John Miliunas]

As always, Richard, your work never fails to amaze me! The care and craftsmanship displayed in all of your work, exudes volumes of your ethics and pride in whatever you touch. :) Simply breathtaking, my friend! :) :cool:

Yes, we laminate the rails in place so there is no doubt that the curves match.
Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Richard,
Great work as usual! I am sure your elated to be out of there. Isn't it funny that just because a job costs more it does not mean you actually make more money? I find that most of the time you make the most on the very simple jobs than the complex ones.....but then again the complex ones are the ones that are much more satisfying...at least to me

[Bob Marino]

Richard,

Outstanding job - we expect no less from you!

[Jason Tuinstra]

[Joe Unni]

Richard,

Most impressive! Very nice stuff.

Question...

Do you travel outside of NY to do such beautiful work? If ever I run into that type of customer, I'd love to be able to refer you. I'm not kidding.

Thanks for your beautiful work and for sharing it with us.

Joe, thanks. I have done some work out of state, even in Mass. It maybe something I would consider, just keep in mind that there are other people that still do quality work, and they may live closer.
