Abstract: A fencing system includes two spaced-apart post assemblies each including a post member having a bottom receiving space, a core element inserted into the bottom receiving space, and an adjustable press plate disposed transversely on and pressing the core element against a mounting surface. The core element has a through hole extending in top and bottom ends thereof. A fixing bolt has a top end portion extending into the through hole and the press plate. A locking element is connected to the top end portion, and is movable toward or away from the press plate so as to press the press plate against the core element or to release the press plate. At least one of the press plate and the core element is movable transversely of the fixing bolt so that a distance between the post members of the post assemblies can be adjusted.

Abstract: A baluster assembly is adapted to be disposed between an armrest and a floor. The baluster assembly includes an adjustment element and a baluster post. The adjustment element has a first end adapted to be fixed on the floor, a second end opposite to the first end, and a screw-threaded section between the first and second ends. A nut engages and is movable on the screw-threaded section. The baluster post has a sleeve-endportion sleeved onto the screw-threaded section and abutting against the nut, and an insert end opposite to the sleeve-end portion and adapted to be fitted into an insert hole in the armrest. The baluster post is co-movable with the nut relative to the screw-threaded section. A decorative cover is sleeved on the sleeve-end portion to cover the nut and junctions between the nut and the sleeve-end portion and between the nut and the screw-threaded section.

Abstract: A baluster includes first and second posts both made of wood. The first post has a longitudinal engaging end portion including a first annular shoulder face, an annular protrusion projecting outwardly and axially from the first annular shoulder face, and a longitudinal receiving hole formed in the engaging end portion and extending through an end face of the annular protrusion. The second post has a longitudinal connecting end portion connected longitudinally to the engaging end portion and including a second annular shoulder face, a longitudinal engaging pillar fitted in the receiving hole, and an annular groove provided in the second annular shoulder face around the engaging pillar. The annular protrusion extends into the annular groove when the engaging pillar is fitted in the receiving hole.

Abstract: A method of producing a baluster component includes the steps of: (A) blending wood flour with a resin to form a wood flour composition; (B) filling a mold with the wood flour composition to form a semi-finished baluster component; (C) polishing the semi-finished baluster component; and (D) providing an outer surface of the semi-finished baluster component with a coating layer after polishing to form the baluster component.

Abstract: A baluster includes at least one first post made of non-composite wood and having a longitudinal engaging end portion, and a second post made of a wood flour composite, which includes wood flour and a resin binder, and having at least one longitudinal connecting end portion connected longitudinally to the engaging end portion. The connecting end portion and the engaging end portion are sleeved one onto the other. A coating layer is coated on an outer surface of each of the first and second posts.

Abstract: A baluster includes a longitudinal hollow post and a tubular core. The hollow post is made of a wood flour composite which includes wood flour and a resin binder, and has a first end portion, and a second end portion longitudinally opposite to the first end portion. The tubular core is disposed longitudinally in the hollow post. A coating layer is provided on an outer surface of the hollow post.

Abstract: A wood door includes a frame embracing a panel unit and including two transversely interconnected frame members. Each frame member includes two longitudinal components, two transverse components connected between the longitudinal components, two face plates, a first joint surface provided on one of the longitudinal components of one of the frame members, and a second joint surface provided on the longitudinal and transverse components of the other one of the frame members, and joined to the first joint surface. The transverse component of the other one of the frame members has a grain extending in a direction transverse to that of the longitudinal components of the other one of the frame members. The first and second joint surfaces extend along the direction. The one of the longitudinal components of the one of the frame members extends in the direction, and has a grain extending in the direction.

Abstract: A baluster assembly mountable between a base and a handrail includes a hollow post, a top connecting element, and a bottom connecting element. The hollow post has a pair of opposite end sections, and an intermediate patterned section between the end sections. Each of the end sections defines a hole. The top connecting element has a first plug portion fitted into the hole of one of the end sections, and a first anchor portion extending upward from the first plug portion and connected to the handrail. The bottom connecting element has a second plug portion fitted into the hole of the other one of the end sections, and a second anchor portion connected to the base.

Abstract: A method for twisting a hollow metal tube includes the steps of (a) filling a predetermined section of the hollow metal tube between two opposite end sections of the hollow metal tube with a solid reinforcing member, and (b) holding and turning the two opposite end sections of the hollow metal tube relative to each other so as to twist the predetermined section of the hollow metal tube.

Abstract: An anti-slip wooden floor panel includes a wooden substrate, a transparent base coating layer coated on the wooden substrate, a transparent anti-slip coating layer coated on the base coating layer and including a polyurethane matrix and 8-10 wt % of transparent resin particles that are dispersed in the polyurethane matrix and that have a particle size ranging from 85-100 ?m, and a transparent cover coating layer coated on the anti-slip coating layer and having a thickness ranging from 0.2-0.3 mm.

Abstract: A baluster includes a first connecting section, a second connecting section, and an intermediate section disposed between the first and second connecting sections. The first connecting section includes a first external thread adapted to be connected threadedly to a handrail. The second connecting section is adapted to be connected to a support base. The intermediate section includes a decorative part.

Abstract: A method for forming a colored red oak product includes the steps of: (a) processing a red oak substrate to form a red oak product; (b) soaking the red oak product in a bleaching agent so as to bleach surfaces of the red oak product; (c) drying the red oak product after the step (b); and (d) dyeing the red oak product in a coloring agent after the step (c).
