This is part of a larger lower-level remodel designed and built by Mark Mackmiller, mackmiller design+build, Eden Prairie, MN. Wanting a Colorado ski lodge vibe, the homeowners requested the design team create the feeling they were being transported to the lodge the moment they descended the stairs. The railing made of driftwood and other ‘found’ wood was artistically crafted from a pile of branches into this one-of-a-kind railing.

This is a handmade rustic railing made from driftwood and other ‘found’ wood. Notice the newel post is a large branch that looks like a beaver trimmed the top.

This is the railing during demolition.

Here's another view of the railing from the bottom of the stairs. Notice how the handrail follows the contour of the stairway. A lot of different pieces were tryed before finding the perfect ones.
