Hi OP, I too was looking for the same thing you are. I did extensive google searches, I'm talking upwards of 12+ hours of research, and just couldn't find anybody who makes these as a "standard" item - if I went with this, it would have to be custom made and I was quoted $30Cdn each for just a plain baluster! HOWEVER, I did find a compromise at a GREAT price IMHO! The link below is to a company in Canada, but if you click the top right corner "Online Store" it will take you to all of the product they have available, priced in US$ if you prefer. I ended up choosing the chrome baluster with a beautiful brushed pewter sleeve. These run about $10.68Cdn each. Plain chrome baluster is around $7Cdn each. I've ordered samples just to make sure they were the quality I wanted and had the right look, and I'm extremely happy with what I've chosen. Good luck, I hope the link is helpful to you.

We did go with Railing works, and recommend them highly! We've gotten lots of compliments in the years since. The color fits our stucco, and the cables almost disappear as we're looking through the railing to our back yard Our experience was very pleasant, and the results awesome. They were knowledgeable, easy to work with. Easy to get samples of color and the top/bottom etc. elements, so which is what persuaded my skeptical DH that this was precisely machined, excellent powder coating, a very clever design, and could be a DIY project. They worked with DH to choose the type of attachments to the deck, and also to the concrete stairs. In collaboration with them, we supplied the specifications for the railing, including all turns and stairs -- they answered all his questions, mailed diagrams back and forth till my engineer husband was certain it was all nailed down. The "kit" came with clear instructions. It did require cutting the top and bottom rails to for some of the 90-degree angles; DH has a circular saw, so that wasn't a problem, though My husband and sons (16 and 10) installed the railings around our deck, and also next to the stairs to our front entrance. I can't praise it enough!

I used a drill press to cut plugs from scraps of the wood (garapa in my case).
