Anatomy of a Box Newel

Oak Pointe Box Newels are all handcrafted for exceptional quality.

ALL OAK POINTE BOX NEWELS FEATURE:

• Solid hardwoods, NO veneers
• Solid internal blocking, allows for ease of installation of your handrail
• Loose internal mounting block (order your preferred hardware separately)

Oak Pointe utilizes Locking “S” Mitered Joints on all box newels.

Locking “S” Mitered Joints are joints formed by fitting two pieces of wood together at a specified angle (45°). An “S” shaped beveled groove within the joint secures its connection.

Joints provide a variety of benefits:

• Reinforced construction
• No exposed joint
• Smooth, clean finish
