Different deck railing designs

Hello permie group!
I'm not all-out permaculture, but I did build my county's first third-party certified green home way back in 2008.
Now, I build branch railings using the wood from the mountain laurel tree.

Any ways...

There's a lot of different designs in here to inspire a future project.

Let me know what you think!!

I've embedded the infographic here:

I haven't seen railings made from mountain laurel.

The railing I see are usually cedar which makes for colorful railings.

What are some other woods that make good railings?
