Carved Timber (Wooden) Staircase

This stair is an absolute piece of art in this interior with the carved balusters, handrail and newels complemented by the same detailing to the dados and walls.
This is a highly intricate and detailed design all with the same timber (wooden) finish. The ledges and carved features make use of light and shadow to great effect which is needed as there are no contrasting colors to effect detail.
The balusters and handrail appear to have been carved from a single piece of timber (wood) however it’s the craftsman’s skill that has allowed this incredible work to be seamlessly constructed.

It is not the type of stair you see being designed regularly today as it's detail is a very expensive process and would only suit certain applications.
It is more likely as a designer that you would get a project to repair or refurbish this work of highly skilled craftmanship. That is when you need to do your homework and make sure that you prepare the timber correctly so that you don't damage the detailed carving, sanding could loose intricacy. There are numerous chemical solutions that can be used to strip timber, it would be best to get an expert to look and verify which product is best to use. For repairing damaged timber, a cabinet maker would be your best option for this as they are skilled with managing timber.
