Finish on poplar stair railing and newel post
I am replacing an indoor metal railing with wooden one. I found poplar newel post and hand rail at reasonable price Lowe’s but read that it does not take stain well. I am looking for light natural look similar to minwax simply white. I was going to spray some water, let it dry, sand it to 220, apply wood conditioner, then apply minwax simple white and maybe weather oak gel stains. Does this sound achievable or would it turn into waste of money? I guess I could paint over it in worst case scenario? Or is it better to go legit lumber place and find white oak? submitted by /u/Spiritual_Broccoli37 [link] [comments]
