Advice on staining or varnishing stairs and bannister

Posted by Anthony Willis, on
I've stripped and sanded very old paint work on stairs, bannisters and hand rail and am now ready to stain/varnish. I want the colour of stair treads, bannister and handrail to match, so I'm looking for best procedures to get the right finish. Should I buy a stain that will colour all woodwork and then buy a different product to finish each element? Is there a singular product that I could use on all elements that would be suitable?
