Work In progress, mock up of stairs to get the design right

We've been working on a friends cottage for four weeks and getting the work done. Projects are backing up and we need to get started.

every piece was dampened with water to raise the grain, then sanded, stained with water based analine dye, then sanded, restained, sanded and then finally urethaned. Steel wooled between and three coats

Analine dye on Maple really light up when the urethane hits it!!!

Maple Stairs are getting done slowly and the parts are lining up and ready for assembly
