These columns are on both sides of the main room of the house with a big arch that connects them. The mantel and the columns and the railing posts were all made with traditional rail and stile panels out of rustic cherry. Beautiful wood because it has so much color and imperfections.

As requested here are some photos of the Neil home.

I built this railing in the home of a good friend back in 2003. Its made with rustic cherry with a clear polyurethane finish. I made the newel posts from rough 4/4 stock. The rail I had to purchase. In this photo I also laid the rustic Cherry floor with the help of Ryan. Well with Ryan's help we built this whole house from the ground up. This was definitely the longest project outside of work I have done. I will post more pictures of this project as I get them.
