Staircase

After putting off dealing with the staircase for too long, I realized the safest, and fastest installation method would be to hire Danny to come back and do it for me.  He and Stoney made quick work of it and we're happy with how it turned out.  I did some of the finish work on it and have yet to stain and finish it.  The treads are the same species as the flooring, White Oak, so I have stain to match the prefinished flooring.  The Newel posts and handrail are Red Oak so I'll stain them darker and not even try to get them close to the rest.




This last piece of railing is about 3 feet long, 3 feet more than we had any single piece leftover.  Maybe you can figure out what we did to make it work.  Shhhh, don't tell anyone.
