6000 Hickory Handrail

The 6000 is the foundational contemporary handrail — a clean, low-profile rectangular form at 2-3/4"" wide and 1-5/8"" tall. Its 1-1/4"" plow groove along the underside accommodates standard wood balusters, making it the natural complement to traditional and transitional stair designs. The profile's eased edges and modest proportions give it a quiet, resolved look that pairs comfortably with a wide range of baluster styles and interior aesthetics. The 6000 is manufactured from two pieces of solid hardwood face-glued together, achieving the finished profile height while maintaining the tight grain consistency of carefully matched boards. Designed for interior use.

Why Hickory?

Hickory is the most characterful domestic hardwood species — and the hardest. Its dramatic interplay of creamy white sapwood and warm amber-brown heartwood, punctuated by bold, sweeping grain, brings an unmistakable energy to the handrail that no other domestic species can replicate. With an unrivaled Janka rating of 1,820 — the highest of any domestic hardwood — Hickory resists the daily wear, oils, and friction that a handrail absorbs with exceptional consistency. It is built for households that demand both beauty and genuine performance. The variation in color across Hickory's grain means no two rails look identical — a natural guarantee of individuality that complements any one-of-a-kind stair design."
