Hey guys!
So I'm moving into a new house in a few weeks and I have to build a banister for the landing at the top of the stairs. To date, I've mainly only made cutting boards and other small projects, so I'm a little nervous. I'm looking at two designs..

We are kind of leaning towards the bookcase banister right now. The backside would probably be wainscoting. I want to build this thing sturdy, to last. I'm a little lost on what to build it out of though.. baltic birch ply? MDF? I've seen some of the wainscoting stiles made out of MDF, but do I build the whole thing out of MDF? I'd kind of like some solid wood to show in the center of the wainscoting panels, not everything painted white, but how do I do that? Any builds that you guys could direct me to?
Thanks in advance!
