The top photo selection is a modified design from a European castle. Steel bars were twisted and formed to the "Y" shape with bronze collars at the base of the "Y". The caprail used was Julius Blum's 2 1/4 inch wide bronze molded cap rail. Each baluster was individually mounted into the step.
The second photo is a beautiful combination of cold roll steel 1/2 inch round bar with a bronze knuckle in the middle. The 2 1/4 inch molded cap rail on the top is bronze to match the knuckles. This is a very elegant and simple look.
The third photo is a very special job. This is a steel formed railing with a red molded cap rail. This railing was designed for and installed at Roy's Restaurant in the Spanish Bay Resort at Pebble Beach, CA.
