  • Pictured below is our newel post.

    It has had the end sliced off, I think probably to accommodate the stair lift which the previous owner had installed.

    Is there a way to restore it that's within the grasp of an amateur DIYer who doesn't even own a set of woodworking tools?

    I would probably go about it by buying a piece of wood of similar width and depth, glueing and screwing it on, then cutting, planing and sanding it to something like the original shape.

    Easy?

  • Alternative (probably not great) idea - reprofile the top so it doesn't look like it's been chopped in half

  • Nah I’m ok with that, it matches the bottom.

    Whoops sorry, read sequential, didn’t see you were replying to a few comments back.

  • So cut the top off, tidy up the edges, then squirrel on top?
