I spent ages on the same subject and ended up making my own rails out of 28mm diameter hardwood pole. I sprayed them to the colour i wanted amd then varnished them Finally i fitted copper end caps to each end of the rail which i got from a plumbers merchants. The finished handrail looks great and they cost me no more than £10 each to make. Hope this gives you food for thought. If you want to look at photos of the finished rails, let me know
