6000 Riftsawn White Oak 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 Riftsawn White Oak?

Riftsawn White Oak is the most refined and architecturally disciplined cut in the hardwood spectrum. Its exceptionally linear, parallel grain lines — produced by milling at a precise angle to the growth rings — create a handrail surface of clean, consistent visual uniformity, free from the figure variation of flatsawn and the ray fleck of quartersawn. The result aligns naturally with minimalist, modernist, and Scandinavian-influenced interiors. With the riftsawn milling process, this White Oak handrail achieves the highest degree of dimensional stability available — minimizing seasonal movement and surface irregularity for a rail that holds its profile and finish with lasting precision. White Oak's inherent hardness of 1,360 and natural moisture resistance further support long-term performance in a daily-contact application. Riftsawn White Oak is the choice of designers who want a handrail that disappears into the architecture — precise, intentional, and impeccably resolved."
