. I went to the Pictures file and rotated them 180 degrees and still upside down. Help!
the wood appears to be fine...We started remodeling a long time ago. BTW, never again! Anyway, we have a stairway in our split foyer home that needs finishing. The original home had carpet and a board that was cut and routed to follow the contour of the steps from the upstairs to the foyer (foy-yay if you are formal) There is also are newell posts and spindles on that part. We are debating on some way to trim the stairs. SWMBO wants the steps to be bullnose on the front and the one end. However, my concern is getting the correct measurements for the length of the steps. I plan on buying oak lumber and routing the bullnose. These steps are oak and the finish we got didn't last. Worn down to the wood. Router is an inexpensive Skil with 1/4 bits. I would like to do some trim for the lower part of the stairs with making a template and cutting/fitting it to the contour of the bullnose and the riser.
Nice, but pricey risers. I just went with a cabinet grade Red Oak plywood for my risers. As you know, the poly on the treads can be slippery depending on your footwear. I wound up installing a stair carpet runner so now only the ends of the treads and risers are visible.My treads are glue-ups (and due to how my/our brains process what we see when walking up the stairs, I never notice it). But when you look up the stairs, the risers just jump out at you. I have received many compliments on my risers. The eyes are just drawn to them for what ever reason. So I'm very glad I went with solid lumber for them. If I was home I would post a picture.
If you were near I would give you a deal on Red Oak. I have plenty of 1.5" thick boards you could make the treads with, and plenty of 1/2," 3/4" and 1" boards for risers! I used 3/4". I nailed them at the bottom so the tread would cover the nail holes & at the very top so the next tread kinda hid it. Worked perfectly. Used putty that matched the color exactly.
What ever you decide to do, make sure you bring the lumber into the house and let it acclimate to your temperature & humidity. This will cut down on it's natural movement. I let mine sit inside for almost a month and have had no problems. They have lasted 16 years and have never had to be refinished. My installer for the floors used a new product back then, don't remember what it was, but it has sure lasted.
