I have fitted the spindles with base rail on the stairs up to a newel post, and now have to do the landing. At the top of the stairs after the newel p ost, I have a short section (only about 6 inches) then a 90 degree bend ont o the landing. For this bend I wish to use a curved hand rail section rathe r than a mitred corner, since it looks much better. The issue is that there is no matching curved base rail section available t o match the handrail, so the base rail has to be mitred. Since there will b e no spindle right in the corner, the sharp mitred corner of the base rail looks a bit silly.
The base rail has this profile:
I could try and make a radiused corner piece but I am not an expect with a router (I don't have one) and not sure if the edge profile is a standard fl uted router bit. Any ideas to make this look half decent ?
