Originally designed for Victorian houses, flat-sawn balusters convey a good old-fashioned feel in a home. Often referred to as gingerbread or paper doll balustrades, these decorative railing features are most commonly found on historic residences, wrapping around porches, balconies and interior staircases. Naturally resistant to rot, flat-sawn balusters are precision cut from lasting woods, like western red cedar, and designed with lifelong durability in mind. Created with a fretsaw, they encompass the use of negative space in their design. The balusters are generally 1 to 2 inches thick and 4 to 8 inches wide, and are placed together in a repeating pattern so that the cut of spaces attracts the eye.
