Given the cantilevered tread design, a satisfying design solution for stanchion posts was elusive. Further, any interface between the tread bracket and stanchions would complicate the molding requirements. A free-standing design eliminated those issues and matched the weightless qualities already established. The railing is finished with an oak cap. The design of the cap, based on an ergonomic sketch of a hand, was iterated into final form using 1:1 scale 3d prints to evaluate options.
