Cherry Stair Rail

I wanted to replace a dated, painted wood railing for the staircase just inside the front door of my house in Colorado.  After several design iterations, this is what I came up with.  

 

The material is all solid cherry with walnut strips set in at the corners of the main posts.  The four posts are hollow and are dropped over 1 1/2 inch square steel tubes bolted through the stair ledgers.

 

I had a local glass shop prepare the three 3/8 inch thick tempered glass panels.
