Hollow black copper iron baluster


black copper iron baluster, originally uploaded by Crown Molding.

These are the iron balusters in the basket series. From left to right, black copper hollow type, black copper solid type, solid satin black.
The hollow types are light weight but strong and the finish is pretty much the same. So the shipping is a little cheaper and the cost of the balusters is less expensive. So now more finishes are available for less. Call The Finishing Company for your iron baluster installs.

Two piece crown molding

Just installed some larger crown molding in a new home in Richmond Va. I installed about 400 Linear feet of a two piece or member colonial type crown molding. It consisted of a 4 1/4 inch beaded base board and then the crown moulding 4 5/8 inches.
First I secured the beaded base board upside down to the studs, then the 4 5/8 crown molding to the studs and the base board and I also toe nailed into the ceiling with  some smaller nails. There are lots of different types of moldings and millwork you  can combine to make built up crown. There were many corners a good angle finder comes in handy.
Here is a before picture
