Stairwell
Here are some pics of a stairwell I did over while renovating a home( as mentioned in my post here....titled French Doors.These stairs were Carpeted with staples,vinyl tiles... glued with old black tar adhesive,painted 3 times and had a type of glue-resin sitting on original timber. It took me 2 weeks of Sanding,stripping and removing paint with heat-gun before I got it to bare wood.I applied an antique gelstain on them,but did not varnish or varathane them,as his budget was getting thin from the amount of work needed on the home.........but it sure beats leaving them the way they were as he preferred ,but I convinced him otherwise.
