Thoughts on how to make to color of a cherry newel match the fumed white oak
spindles would be appreciated.

I strongly suggest stripping it absolutely bare before trying

The photography is really misleasing. There is a huge abount of contrast in
that photo. There is no surface film left there.

Tests with water to see how it would look with finish evened it out
