Been to B&Q

They are selling a 4 metre hand rail for £27 in PINE, but it's
finished

Which is not bad I thought, however I would like to see the handrail in
a darker wood like the ones at

Any ideas other than sanding the cheap one down and using a special
vanish effect

What do you want ? Better wood, or just darker wood ?

Any decent timberyard with a spindle moulder will be able to run off a
length of handrail for you, from your choice of timber and your choice
of profile. This will be cheaper than B&Q, but obviously decent hardwood
costs a bit more than cheap pine.

If you just want it cheap and dark, then use a coloured varnish.

Great that was what I was looking for really.

Just have to ring around asking if the timber yard has a spindle
moulder.

I am looking for round finish, but pine is fine. Just the 'darker' look
that I am after as cheap as pos.

Any recomendations on how to search ? Yellow pages will this do?
