Everything is oak
-25in total rise
-3 other steps (47in wide)
-47in opening
my top platform is going to curve (semi-circle) around 90deg on the same plane so the steps would run down next the the wall of the opening (opening is in the middle of a room)
How do i go about making/ or finding a curved wooden handrail to follow the profile of the top platform?
Im a metal worker so i know little on bending wood....Do they make metal handrails with wood grain that i could paint? :-)
Thanks
Jess

Hi,
I think you are the perfect solution to your problem. Instead of a wood hand rail, why not make a metal one. Shiny or opaque. This is very chic-modern now and would also be quite cost-effective as you could design / make it yourself. Nothing elaborate, just sleek and simple. Very cool.

Our new home is being built now and we have a curved staircase in the foyer. Also the palladian window has wooden framing to match the curve of the window. I wasn't there to watch, but obviously it can be done. Check with the guys in the lumber area of Loews or Home Depot. They will be able to walk you through what needs to be done.
