Victorian Entry Restoration
This Victorian balustrade features robust Italianate balusters. Typically, such balusters are toe nailed at the point of connection, over time wicking water into via the fasteners into the endgrain of the wood. Typically, such balusters are toe nailed at the point of connection, over time wicking water into via the fasteners into the endgrain of the wood where expansion from both frost and oxidation of the fasteners splits the wood. This can easily be seen in the bottom image on this page. Each baluster must be removed so that all remains of the rusted fasteners can be removed and the split turnings soundly repaired.
