position of chamfers on newel posts

[woodcarver]

Have just made a staircase with single curtail entrance step, up 5 straight treads, 3 winders, one straight and another 3 winders.

Customer wants stop chamfers on posts, any suggestions on locations?

Many thanks for reading this.

It seems no-one feels able to help woodcarver. I suggest asking the customer if they have anything specific in mind, with pictures perhaps. Maybe you could have a good look at what is available and offer sketches of choices. Otherwise I assume the chamfers would normally be on the vertical edges. These stopping short of upper and lower joints by enough to convince viewers it was intentional.
