New banisters

[sagem]

Can anyone help to what to put on my new banister it is a darkish wood, I know it needs sanding I wondered if oil or wax would be ok. Thanks

i'd recommend going to somewhere like B & Q and buying small "testers" of different finishes then trying them all on an offcut then pick the one you like

I did go to B & Q but they didnt have testers nor could they offer advice today. but I do have an off cut so I shall try a few options out. Thanks

Danish oil, if you don't like it no harm done as it can be waxed over or even painted.

Thank you, that was very useful as I didnt want to put something on and then be stuck with it. Danish Oil it is..... for now at least.

Hi
I mean the hand rail. Not sure of the terminology! the ballustrades are primed white, so I will paint them.
