Product Description
The lowered areas of the 4623 Recessed Panel Box Newel adds interest without overpowering this mid-sized box newel. Fully constructed out of stain-grade wood in species such as Walnut, Cypress, Hickory, Soft Maple, and more, the Recessed Panel Box Newel radiates quality and strength. This newel pairs nicely with the slightly larger 4991 Recessed Panel Box Newel used as an accent newel.

Mounting System
To install your 4623 Recessed Panel Box Newel, you will need the Box Newel Mounting Kit. Follow our Installation Video to ensure a secure fit. The Box Newel may be installed either on the surface of the stair tread or beside the tread. Due to their precise edges, we have found that Box Newels look best on a square starting step.
Handrail Attachment
Join handrail to your 4623 Recessed Panel Box Newel using a rail bolt kit. Many configurations allow handrail to mount directly into the newel; however, if your handrail is joining with your box newel on a rake, you may also require a gooseneck handrail attachment.
Splitting Box Newels
In order to maintain a consistent appearance when handrail must terminate into a wall, we offer Split Box Newels. Attach the partial newel to the wall, and your handrail can be secured like normal. If you would like your Recessed Panel Box Newel split in half, please select “Split in Half” in the dropdown menu above.

Clear Finish & Stain Information
StairSupplies™ offers several premium stain and finish options for our products, depending on the product’s use. For the Box Newels we offer both clear finishes and stains. Select a clear finish if you want to draw out the natural beauty and colors of the wood. If you prefer deeper, richer tones, our custom-mixed stains are the ideal choice for your Box Newels.
All of our stained and clear-finished Box Newels will be coated with Pre-Catalyzed Lacquer. Using the same quality product that cabinet makers require, this lacquer is designed to resist the natural oils from hands. We use this lacquer on all of our products that will be consistently touched, such as handrails, balusters, and newels. This layer of protection will keep your Box Newels looking smooth and stain free for years to come.
Wood Grain & Color Variation
At StairSupplies™ we believe that natural wood colors and visual textures add character to our products. With that in mind, we strive to match the grain and color of all of our wood products as closely as possible. However, due to the natural variation of wood products, there may be instances in which a perfect grain and color match is not possible. By ordering from StairSupplies™, you acknowledge that you are receiving a uniquely crafted product and there may be some variation in the grain and color of your wood products.

Box Newel 4623 Recessed panel box. Are all the corners are Lock Miter Joint? Is the top section solid or hollow.
Bert,
Yes, they are lock miter joints. And it is hollow.
The description says solid top but the Q&A says hollow top section. Can you clarify which is correct?
Amanda, thanks for reaching out to us.
The top section is solid, but the lower section is hollow.
Best,
