This morning I received an e-mail from my son-n-law in CT. Before I reply I was hoping my NCWW brethern could share their collective suggestions/wisdom:
Hi Dad,
Need some wood advice.
We're thinking about replacing the treads on the basement stairs, as we are improving the class of the basement as a whole. We can't really afford about $1000 to use oak, but I thought maybe solid pine boards with some nice poly would look nice. Of course, pine being so soft, I am asking if you know of any reasonably priced products that would impact a particularly hard finish to them, or other alternatives.
Thanks!
Tom
