We used iron railing around the exterior basement stairs. It is easy and quite often tempting when I am building a home of natural wood to get carried away and use it everywhere… such as to fill in the area between these heart-pine posts.
I find that an occasional splash of iron though “snazzes” things up a bit, and accentuates the wood that I did use.
