We have a split entry home with unfinished birch nosing at the top (and side) of the stairs for the main level. At the side, we will need a guardrail.
What is the best approach? Should we stain and put poly on, then install the baluster spindles and newel? Or should we install all of it, then stain afterwards? Does it matter?
I was planning on staining the nosing to match the wood floor (gray), painting the spindle's white, and staining the handrail and newel a java colour.
