FWIW... I turned those balusters and newels..
cut the hand rail too...

Great finish Stick.

The look is a huge improvement. Since we don't wear shoes into our houses up here the polished steps can be slippery in sock feet. I don't mind carpet on them for that reason but shag just doesn't sound like a good idea.

the finish isn't slippery even when wet and about as bullet proof as a finish can get...
it's Rexthane, (about 140$ a gallon back then) the same stuff airplane hanger floors are painted w/..
equate it to 180/220 paper... and it cleans very easily...
