The handrails with wood moisture content of 12% were pre-bent by hand in the workshop using bending moulds, carried to the house on the moulds and mounted to provisional holders with pressing negative blocks, as shown in the first photos.

The tightest bend radii were 60 cm.

After about 2 weeks, the handrails were taken off, the construction brackets were replaced by bespoke brass brackets and then the final assembly could be carried out.
