Starting Steps, 2 Ends Finished?
(we custom fabricate the finished
ends and starter treads to match your needs and to fit the
box below)

 Standard
Wood Steps come bullnosed on the front edge only and any defects
on the bottom end of the board are assumed to be hidden against
a wall or under the step.
Thus we hand select all treads when we prepare them with
a finished end, to guarantee a clean, quality finish on those
oak stair treads that are going to be exposed on 1 or 2 ends.
You have a number of options as suggested below.
Stair treads with 2 ends finished, must be an exact size
as no trimming is possible after the fact! Lenth ordered MUST
include overhang as well.

There are a number of different ways that you can return
a tread, but we have choosen to square cut the end, add a
1 1/4" block to wrap around the corner of the stringer
and then round over the endgrain of the wood.
This has proven to be more easily shipped without damage,
and provides a returned tread at much less cost then the traditional
mitred end. ..more
