Company Owner James Pader with Mountain Laurel Handrails
My name is James Pader and I’ve personally been crafting mountain laurel handrails on special requests from clients since 2004.
In 2009, I posted pictures of a deck railing project my construction company installed. I started receiving inquiries about the availability of the product nationwide. The first national shipment went from Franklin, NC to Washington State.
Here’s what customers have said:
“We love them! Thank you so much! I’m sure we will love them more when they’re installed!” — Jeri S.
“The handrails are beautiful! We get so many compliments on them. You were great to work with and created a work of art for our home!” –Erika R.
I work with a team of independent woodworkers who I’ve trained in my railing crafting techniques. Each crafter produces works of exceptional beauty that will add a unique design element to your home decor.
I look forward to working with you on your rustic wood railing project!

I am interested in using it for an outside deck railing,two questions; how much per ft. approx. and what sort of maintainence is required? Thanks, Neil.
Hi Neil,
To quote your project, I need to know your total railing length and city/state for delivery.
The railings require little maintenance. The branches will weather to a silver color that is similar to a piece of weathered cedar. If you want to preserve the original reddish color of the sticks, we can apply a natural stain to the sticks here in the shop. This is a clear, penetrating stain and sealer and is different than varnish or poly which is not recommended. I’ve sent you an email.
James, I have done a couple of porch railings at our lake house using mountain laurel. I just stumbled accross your website yesterday. I just finished guest quarters at the lake house and was getting prepared to start havesting enough for the hand rails for it as well. I have about 50 feet to do and am not sure if I have enough on my property to harvest enought to do this job. I assume that you harvest your own or you have someone to do it for you. I would be very interested in knowing what you would charge to provide me with enough to do this job. I will never get into doing this on a commercial scale but only for my personal projects. You do beautiful work!! I have a few clients in Franklin and I live in Flat Rock NC. Either a call or an email would be great. Thanks, Mike
Hi Mike,
We can provide you with material. I just need to know the total linear feet of handrail that you’ll be building. I’ve sent you an email.
I have about 17 feet of balcony rail,a section of which is curved. Canyou supply enough mt laurel for me to construct my rail?

I am in the process of building a timber frame home and love your stair railings. We are looking to put in something unique on our stairs and in the loft. Our stairs have 16 risers and the loft is a little under 8 ft in length. Can you please give me a cost estimate? Thanks!
