Rebuilding a classic 70s staircase and plan to replace the railing, among other things. I also need a 55x55mm post, about 3m long, and initially considered ordering one from a carpentry shop (not a standard size, unfortunately).
But then I thought it might be possible to make a post by gluing together two 28x70 fine-sawn raw boards. Some sawing and planing will be needed, and maybe rounding the corners slightly with a router. There could be money to save here!
Anyone with similar experiences? Am I "on track"? The post will be painted white, so it doesn't need to be "perfect," filler is available...
