Help: Banister Rail
I have stripped the banister rail (of paint) on a Victorian terrace. The wood looks like oak. To return the rail to its former glory what should I do with it now.
Many thanks
Rob

I would seal the wood buy brushing a cost of polyurethane mixing it with 50% turpentine. Leave it for a few days to dry. Light sand the wood then apply a few coats of oil finish like Tung oil or linseed oil.
