All the balusters have been re installed. The mitred returns complete the new steps, and the new scotia moldings provide a crisp accent. The steps have been protected with paper and plywood for the remainder of the construction process. As the project winds down, the wood will be stained to a consistent hue and the risers and skirts will be painted. Another 19th century stair has been revived, and it stands both as a testament to the care practiced by its’ original makers and the quality of the materials available to them!
