This is what I consider my first woodworking project. I wanted to refinish the stairs that lead down to my basement workshop. The original treads were poorly stained pine. I cut off the noses and put 3/4” Walnut on top. The risers are 1/4” maple ply. The treads are attached with screws and plugs. The risers have plugs, but they’re for show only. They were glued and tacked. I used my router table for the first time to make the cove molding that is under the lip of the noses.

That looks great. The plugs were deffinately worth the trouble. I like the trim work too

Yeah, it’s been walked on alright. It’s already a bit scratched up due to the 2 cats and the dog. But it’s ok . . . I expected it.
