The color of the oak railings didn't really look very good. I've never been a fan of the light colored oak wood of the 1990's. It's all about darker stains these days. The new stains on your rails are a big improvement. <br /> <a href="http://www.weldproinc.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.weldproinc.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515838331744208069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-86866039846707050302014-07-28T09:57:11.202-05:002014-07-28T09:57:11.202-05:00Beautiful!

I have chosen to use Minimax Polyshades in Expresso Gloss finish. I am wondering if it is too dark. Hard to decide. I am also concerned that it may be too glossy. Did you ever concider using the satin finish instead of glossy finish? I guess, we could just go over with the low-poly shine like you did. Any suggestions?Jeni Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506437164001991495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-27382812979342339872012-09-14T23:10:41.748-05:002012-09-14T23:10:41.748-05:00You really did an absolutely fantastic job!

I have older oak rails also with oak stair treads.(all in good condition and just freshly sanded down today) I wonder with your beautiful taste what would you recommend for the treads> Should I do the same dark rich color as the rails OR keep them oak and just poly them. The floor at the foot of the stairs is red oak and was going to just refinish them in their natural color. (I have Brazilian cherry floors in the next room) Would love to know your thoughts.
