Stair handrail technique?
6 years ago
I am about to paint my stairs. Plan on BM Cloud White for the same wood rails in this photo. Is the handrail painted black? I cant tell... Mine is a dark cherry but was thinking of some how giving it a more "black look" without just solid paint. Was this a technique where wood shows thru on handrail with some black?
