I see two different styles:

Square spindles:http://www.furnitureontheweb.com/NoF...03266nf.html?s...

Slat spindles:http://www.furnitureontheweb.com/nof.../008644nf.html


This is more 'true' Stickley:

The smaller, square spindles. But, they also do the slats. The older
the examples you find, the more you'll see square spindles. I think
they look better. BUT... that's just me.
What do YOU like?

Good luck with the finish. I'm sure somebody here will be able to help
you.
I don't do oak anymore, cuz I no longer have to. Stickley looks soooo
much better in cherry..oops..an opinion slipped out. sorry...
