Now THIS is a craft...
Step into my other, real world. And the workshop of the real craftsman chez Dunnit. This monster of a job is taking up a lot of time and the customer is erm, taking up a lot of time, but look at it. Solid oak, to be finished with a simple non gloss seal. Simple, beautiful. Brilliant. Mr Dunnit, bless his modest heart, can't see that. All he can see is the dinosaur that this job has turned into. It's making him fret that he's neglecting others and I feel for him. It's great fun, having a staircase that not only splits in two, but leads to nowhere. Although he was the only one brave enough to run up and down the stairs. It's only slotted together and not tethered to anything. You understand of course, that I felt it improper to be the weight test for solid oak components...if I lost...the components aren't numbered and I don't think I know how to put them back together!

Wow! That is superb!
WOW...a real big challenge. One of the hardest is steps. He's a Master of his craft. It is beautiful and it's that way because of the huge amount of detail. Congrats to him
I was simply blown away by this staircase. You know my love of real oak because every piece of furniture in my house is oak. This is one monster project, and Mr. D. sounds like my friend Scott, who climbs with ease into thin air, too.
This site is really cool! I found here alot of information that I was looking for. I am really happy to be a part of This site!
Lucky you!! You've got Cinderella stairs to practice swishing up and down on!!! Dig out that ball gown and strut your stuff hun:) Hugs, Buttons x

Oh WOW ...I want to stroke it ...it is so gorgeous ....what an amazing piece of art...he is so talented. Make sure you take loads of arty shots ...a black and white piece in his office would say a thousand words about his talent to future clients. xx
I'm with Angie - I just want to pop round and run my hands over it - erm I mean the staircase of course!! Clever - totally brilliant craftsman. x Jo
now, that's a staircase! one question, how in the heck are you,going to move that! Absolutely beautiful!
I always admire similar craftsmanship when I see such wonderful staircases on Grand Designs. Maybe one day MrD will get a commission leading to TV fame. It is magnificent!

Wowee!
and to think of the house that fits.....
Mister Dunnit Amazing... LOL
Do I understand aright? This is not being built in situ? The mind boggles
stairway to heaven?..... obviously not in Mr D's mind but it looks stunning, can't imagine what the rest of the house must look like
janet
I wish I had a house big enough to fit in a staircase like that, it's stunning Mr D is very talented!
C xx
Wow. what an amazing piece of crafting...Mr D is one clever fella.

OMG Julia - this is absolutely stunning. Having stroked the gorgeous rocking horse that Mr D made I shouldn't be surprised in the least - but I am blown away in any case!!
Hugs, Di xx
truely beautiful. BJ
Wow, now that is talented, building such a magnificent staircase, and all without the aid of a head. Well done
Love from the bears
It's beautiful and reminds me of the stairs in the Loreto chapel which did not have a central column and no nails were used. If you like drama and miracles, here's a link: http://www.salvemariaregina.info/Martyrologies/Stairs%20of%20St.%20Joseph.html

A headless talented craftsman who can produce a beautiful piece of art! Now that's unique ;D
I love wood especially oak and that staircase is stunning.
You must be so proud of him.
You will let us see it once it's in situ won't you?
wow, what beautiful workmanship. mr Dunnit sure is talented!
Astoundingly beautiful - a real masterpiece in wood!

Now I'm speechless.
You didn't really believe that, did you, hun? That is A. Maz. Ing. I hope you are taking photos every day of the journey to the finish and making up a "coffee table" book when it's done. That curve defies sense. What a splendid talent that man has in those hands.
(I was reading the comments on my way down here - usually there are too many, altho nice for you - and I can't believe someone named Kirsty used "in situ" in her comment after I'd just used it in the other post. Don't you think that's weird?)
Wow Julia
That indeed is real craftsmanship. It's the staircase one dreams of. Well, lucky lucky clients I say - well worth the wait.
He deserves some recognition for that stunning project. Well done Mr D!
Hugs

Wow - that looks fabulous and will no doubt look even better in the house it's built for. What a craftsman!!
That is beautiful, he is very talented.
Wow! I am impressed. Beautiful work.
