Hello all, I am very new to wood working and would like some guidance on best resources to learn how to best touch up/refinish my base boards. As part of the project to have my wood floors refinished, I removed my base boards so that the contractors could access all of the wood floor boards and thought to take the opportunity to also refinish these boards. The boards themselves seemed to have lost a bit of vibrancy and the original stain and topcoat were applied on the boards when they were first nailed onto the wall, not separately. As a result residue from this process accumulated on the bottom edge of these boards and there are areas where no stain was applied (these areas generally don't see the light of day, but it annoys me none-the-less).
The original plan to refinish these boards was to sand down the layer of topcoat and a bit into the stained wood, then re-stain and topcoat the sanded boards. Below are pictures of this process (different boards at different stages). I apologize for the lighting glare on the boards.

In general the board above came out decent looking, but some other boards came out more uneven and blotchy. I was recommended using a board conditioner before applying stain and have yet to try that. I wanted to get some second opinions on the direction in case there is a better way to go about this.
Am I approaching refinishing these boards correctly? What resources would you recommend me using in order to better understand how to best refinished stained wood base boards?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
