I just finished the stairway/railing in my shop. (Other than the newel post caps)
This was my first stair case and offered the challenges of being structural, lots of angles, meet the codes, allow forklift access, and match the otherside of the shop (the winemaking area).
It is built all out of pine. The posts were glued up and then mortised through to allow the posts to be connected to one another. Between the posts is framed with pine with cross pieces at the top, middle and bottom to allow for nailing the 5/8" thick wainscoting, which is applied to both side of the railing.
It is finished in four coats of sprayed minwax helmsman spar poly, to match the same tones as the wood in the wine side, which does get washed down, thus the need for the "extra" protection.
I may do the opposite wall in wainscoting to match, but my only concern now was getting the railing complete and the permit closed.
The grape carving was done on my carvewright, and matches the wine theme to go along with the wine room on the other side of the doors, although i designed it so it could be changed out to something else in the future. It was a 14 hour carve.
Here are some pics
