There is also a Belgian forum .They both have very good modelers. It's possible they might help with purchasing some very good wood for your railing cap. I would suggest some pear wood. Very fine grain and it can be painted black to look like ebony or oak. These modelers mostly do "scratch" models , but don't be afraid---ask. Bonne chance! Keith.

Unfortunately they are not easy to find. I think in Paris you might try makers of musical instruments (lutiers)or furniture makers. They might even machine it to the thickness and width you require. The thing about all of these fruit woods is they are usually fine and straight grained, sand ,bend and plane well. Keith. | ||
