The horizontal step surfaces on my staircase are worn. The staircase is old and somewhat large. The vertical and decorative surfaces are in good shape and have a patina (home is 90 years old) on them. If I sand and polyurethane only the horizontal step surfaces it will stick out like a sore thumb. If I decide to refinish the entire staircase, I should be done about the time Haley's comet is ready to return.
My question: Is there some way to refinish just the horizontal step surfaces and have it look like the rest of the wood?
