Get a piece of teak of adequate length and twice as wide as the handrail height. Mark a line down the center lengthwise. Using the old handrail as a template lay out the loops. Using a hole saw with a diameter to match the radius of the underside of the handrail, drill holes to layout the loops. At this point, you can cut the teak piece in two lengthwise. To make the arches, simply connect the holes with a jig saw or a bandsaw. I use a Bosch 1587 jigsaw which, in my opinion is the ONLY jigsaw that reliably cuts a straight line. Now cut the ends. Use a router to round off the underside of the loops, the ends and the tops. Poof! Handrail! Here's one video except the guy does one at a time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LPPM-vZhH0 Dennis C.

If I can't at least I'll have a template to get my saw and router going. _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
