I'm pleased with how they came out, though obviously a good carpenter would find a few imperfections (gaps don't match between every single board or step, use of shims to compensate for not-so-awesome stringer cutting).

Nonetheless, this part is done. New handrails, balusters, stringers, risers and treads.

Now, on to the surface decking, which will hopefully be the only thing I need to replace on the deck itself. I'm hoping that the joists themselves are in good shape. We shall see.
