I wanted to share what I received in the mail today from @AlanRail. Yes...it's the Vandy tender hand rail stanchions! I am very grateful for Alan's kindness, craftsmanship and extraordinary attention to detail. Well done Sir!
From the handcrafted box to the perfectly designed stanchions (the measurements taken from my last two unbroken ones) I can now fix this tender that has been on my shelf for twenty years! Talk about bucket list.. I still have painting and placement to do.
