Also a great job on getting them nearly all the same

Thanks Derek. The carving takes an hour plus, so I doubt I'd ever be able to do 4 in a day.
I made a template, so getting them all the same was straightforward. I had to ease the shoulder in of one of them as one of the newel posts was a few mm undersized.
