The staircase is coming together nicely now, with the first floor complete.
One of my favourite details so far is the Purpleheart capping on the ash newel posts.
Purpleheart is a rare timber with an incredible natural purple-pink colour, and I've had a small stash sitting in the workshop waiting for the right project.
This felt like the perfect opportunity!
The contrast against the ash is striking, and the colour is completely natural to the timber.
These are the touches that make a staircase truly bespoke.
It's all about the detail.
