A residential staircase with elaborately turned wooden balusters and matching handrail, set on solid hardwood treads. The piece needed an oil that would penetrate every curve of the lathe-turned profile without pooling in the bead-and-cove transitions. LEINOS Interior Hardwax Oil 290 was brushed onto the bare wood in two thin coats.
The team used a 25mm soft-bristle brush for the balusters — wide enough to cover the spindle face in one pass, narrow enough to follow the bead-and-cove without skipping. Hard-to-reach junctions at the rail base were cleaned up with a cloth before tack-free.
