These are stairs what I wanted to make for long time…I have had “Fine Woodworking on” bending wood book in our toilet reading for years so if have read this article in second picture many many times. It shows how easy is make stairs like that…but in real life I now KNOW it`s not that easy. I am pretty satisfied for final result althougt it took much more time than I thought (I stopped counting in 200 hours total maybe + 300h). I also installed led stripes in steps but they haven`t switched electricity yet.

The under shot with the newel post is really dreamy. It all is come to think of it.
The slender transparent look with sharp black and white is sheer elegance.

A real masterpiece. And very tastefully done. I think this is just magnificent.
BTW – there are also excellent instructions on the “This is Carpentry” blog on doing complex stair work.

Very nice. What material was used for stringers? Layered plywood? I’m Guessing yes because there is a finished veneer underneath. Which begs the question, what is the material underneath the staircase? It does not appear to,be drywall.
I have framed a few spiral staircases where the most common and affordable means is stick framing each rise and tread to the subfloor and utilizing the space underneath as storage. I have framed a couple sets using layered plywood as stringers. The underside is always a challenge for the finishers, usually drywall. I have never stayed long enough to learn how it was dealt with.
Anyway… Fantastic job. I have never finished a spiral set (applied finished treads, balusters, etc..) I’m envious.

Thank`s for your nice words.. (sorry about my bad english) inside stringer have 9 layers of 6 mm plywood and outside stringer has 6 9mm plywood, risers are made from birch, I glued 3 mm mdf over those and finished with oak veneer. Underneat is first 4 mm plywood and then I glued 3 mm mdf to get decent surface( It wasn`t the easiest job). I took many pictures while doing stairs maybe some day if I have time I`ll write blog of making it..
