That looks great. At least they are all the right way up!
Looking at the pine below it which you've stripped. I discovered by a very long process that it's important to remove that last layer of brown burnt varnish/primer kind of stuff because it really slows down the sanding stage. It ruins the sandpaper by clogging it.
Eventually I worked out that I needed to be very thorough and remove it all. With an IR stripper it's easier. Doing it by hand with a tungsten scraper it's much harder not to scratch the pine.

Another day making stairs. This is balustrade number 3 of 5
Full of little mistakes. I’ll get away with it though.
