I started on an elliptical stairway today. I will be on and off this project for awhile as I am finishing three other stairs.
This stairs will have american cherry treads….rail and newels. The risers and stringers are going to be in poplar.
The railing is going to be some iron scroll work that I will have to weld on site. This stairway rises 134.25 inches with 17 treads. It has 16 treads turning 180 degrees with the 17th tread going past the springline. I NEVER tire of these projects.
Excuse the yellow tint to my camera. I had it set wrong.

The most important detail-will it have a good handrail to slide down on? might get you dizzy. WEEEEeeeeeeeeee.
Looks cool, though. I've never dreamed of tackling something like that.
Have fun.
