Decks, Patios, Porches and Docks - Deck railing style?

I am replacing the deck on my tudor style home. I would like to do something different for the railing. The house does not lend itslef to the typical 2x2 spindles. (The deck is covered by a roof, which is an extension of the house.) The previous owner had a pattern that would not pass today's code. I have searched the web for railing styles, with no luck. I am a beginner woodworker and have the equipment to craft the railing, but would like some input.
Any resources or thoughts?
Thanks,
Bill

Wm G -- Welcome to DoItYourself.com and the deck forum.

You have searched the web and haven't found what you want. Fine -- that tells me you KNOW what you're looking for. But I can't read your mind -- WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?? Wood? Metal? Composite? Vinyl?

I am looking for a wood style railing. As mentioned, I am a woodworker and can make the railing. I am looking for a stlye/pattern to work with.
Thanks for following up.

I just put a railing around our deck using ceder posts and rails with the aluminum balusters found at http://www.deckorators.com/DeckRailing-Balusters.htm.
It may not be what you're looking for, but it sure turned out nice.

Wm G,

Start window (and book and brochure) shopping. Companies like Trex, Weather Best, etc. have some pretty ornate railings designs shown in their brochures. They're composite, but there's no reason you couldn't use one as a starting point and do it in wood. Deck books and magazines, Sunset magazine, BH&G -- they've all got pictures.

Just saw some last night on HGTV when they were at the 2005 builder design show. CLICK (http://www.milehighbalusters.com/photogallery.asp)

Personally, I like the idea of the baluster/ railing design to match the 'feel of the house'. In my case, Prairie Style, or Mission.
