Material for Loose Tennon - Numpty Joiner Here!
Hi all
I am replacing some stair case handrailing. One suggestion for fixing handrail to newel posts is to fit a tennon (similar to using a biscuit I suppose) into the newel post. Then slot the end of the handrail so that it slides down over said tennon - glue all together when satisfied. My question is - should the tennon be made from any particular type of wood? What direction of grain for the tennon part? TIA Phil |

I used strips of ply in joining boards for a wooden worktop and this method worked fine. mark |
