Here is what it looks like after my brother applied the sealant to the hardwood. My brother is really happy with his fence.

I have to admit, when you first posted this, I thought those guys in CA are nuts, making a fence out of stainless steel? Well, you and your brother knocked it out of the park, that looks beautiful!

He hasn’t finished the trim on the bottom yet.
It looks great. I admire your tenacity in finishing this (no pun intended).
I built my own fence from mild steel square tubing and forged tips. Having this go fairly well, I was very close to choosing to DIY railings for two balconies from stainless. Having read this thread I now see what a disaster that would be... choosing a commercial supplier to fabricate them was a really good decision
When I saw that moonscape I thought the only way would be face milling with stainless inserts.
Does anyone know how do they achieve good finish on such parts commercially?
