Default Staining softwood hand rail

I want to stain a sanded "mop stick" softwood handrail a dark teak colour and finish with wax.

Any recommendations for products to use plse?

It seems some stains - Rustins for e.g. are incompatible with wax finishes... unless a sealer is used in between coats.. - is that universal?

TIA

Furniture waxes are normally based on white spirit. If the stain is too,
they're going to act as a solvent to each other. A water based stain
might be better with wax
