To provide a handrail component capable of not only being tightly fitted to fingers but also providing good feeling to a palm, with respect to the handrail component used in a house and the like, and manufactured by cutting a wood material and the like.

This handrail component is substantially a longitudinally extended-rod body 10 having an oval cross section, and recessed parts 12 are formed on one face of the rod-body 10 along the major axis or minor axis of the oval. Whereby projecting parts 14 are formed among recessed parts 12, as a result, the handrail component is alternately projected and recessed along the longitudinal direction. The gripping feeling can be improved by applying the oval cross-sectional shape, and as the projecting parts and the recessed parts are formed along the major axis or the minor axis on one face of the oval, that is, the projecting parts and the recessed parts are not seen from the outside, the appearance can be improved.
