Tentacle Handrail

The Whitehouse family asked me to build them a simple handrail. My response was to offer making them an awesome handrail–one that would be more than just functional and also include a common enthusiasm for cephalopods (see Rusty the Octopus).

A tentacle handrail in the making.

Just after installation on Christmas Eve 2012.

Nearly two months after installation, the tentacle is finally completely rusted.
