This project entailed reproducing a Black Walnut newel post for the historic Davies mansion at Yale University.
The building had been vacant for many years and the original post had been stolen. The only thing I had to work from was the
8x10 B&W photograph shown above.
Here is the completed post in the shop
Two other carvers and myself look on.

Here the finished post is in place
I also carved over 200 of these ballusters for the job.
