Default Cheapo Handrails

You have to cut down the rainforest using exploited workers to get teak. The
elephants are poked with sharp sticks and sometimes fall upon the workers
giving their madras slacks a true permanent press.

Then you have to load up on PCB's and kill fish to have varnish. Or worse
yet, rip the roof of mouths out of sturgeon or boil up some horse hooves.

Then you have to kill a mammal to get fur or rip the skin off of a chamois
to properly buff the finish. There are no solar powered buffers available,
it is all fossil fuel driven using underpaid labor that has no health
insurance.

Stainless steel is much more eco-friendly and does not cause global warming.
It lasts much longer than wood. Plus it can be recycled.

I am going to get a stainless steel Jesus for my binnacle. It won't affect
the compass.

Glory!
