My suggestion (and who the hell am i?) would be to lightly sand one
stair riser with 320-400, apply 2 or more coats of poly (separately),
and see if there is a significant difference. If you like the result,
you can repeat on the rest of the stuff, or not. Good luck!

I have small pieces from what I cut and experimented with the finish
before I began the actual fitted pieces. I can always play around with that.

Thanks
