Meh, it's a poplar.
Just use minwax stain in your choice of color and a wipe on poly. |

Poplar doesn't take stain very well.

You want General Finishes stain (can be found at Woodcraft). Followed by Seal-A-Cell, then Oil and Polyurethane (minimum 3 coats). Use High Gloss and buff to sheen of your choice.
Pic of railing? Sure it's poplar? Kind of an odd choice of wood for somebody to make that out of. I prefer oil based stains but if you use a water based stain, use a water based poly afterwards. |

I've used plenty of Minwax stain and it's fine.

Throw away anything as soft and weak as poplar.
Go get some oak. |
