3 Whether youʼre looking to change a few things about your staircase, completely redesign it, or build a new one, we have the right wood finish for you. Match all of your elements down to the rosettes, or go bold by mixing and matching stains. Make it yours. African Mahogany American Cherry African Mahogany is the premium wood for fine furniture and stair parts. Mahogany is prized by woodworkers for its beauty and workability. It is also easy to shape, turn, glue, sand, and finish. All of our Mahogany is legally harvested. Alder Alder is a tight-grained wood that is light brown in color. Alder is similar to both cherry and maple; this soft and lightweight wood can be used for stairs and handrails. Because Alder only grows to be a maximum of 10 feet tall, all pieces longer than that size must be spliced. Brazilian Cherry FC American Cherry is the most prized wood for making heirloom quality stairs, cabinetry, and furniture. This tight-grained wood is usually light brown or pink, but ages to a beautiful auburn. American Cherry is soft, yet durable. Brazilian Cherry is one of the hardest woods of any common domestic species. This reddish brown wood features an interlocking grain and a golden luster that is often prized for its beauty. This strong and heavy wood is often used for stair treads, handrail, furniture, and flooring. 1

4 Ash Ash is a hard, highly figured wood with a closed grain. This easily stained wood has a similar pattern to Oak, though it is more pronounced. Ash takes stains well and is often used as a lower cost alternative to Red Oak. However, it is not as easy to work with as Red Oak.

6 Hickory Hickory is a beautiful wood with exaggerated grain. Hickory comes in a variety of colors and is often used in rustic designs. This species is a favored choice for high traffic areas because it is the hardest domestic wood. It is also slightly more likely to warp than other woods.

7 Ipe (Brazilian Walnut) Paint Grade (Primed) Ipe is a typically reddish brown wood known by many names (Brazilian Walnut for example). This species can be used safely near water because it contains no added harmful chemicals. The density and oil content of the wood can make it susceptible to cracks. Poplar Stain Grade When you order a StairSupplies Paint Grade wood part, you will receive a product that is typically made of Paint Grade Poplar, or another similar species of wood. You can install our Primed parts as is, or add a coat of paint in a color of your choosing. Quartersawn White Oak Poplar is one of the softest hardwoods. Poplar is generally used as a paint grade wood, but our Poplar is a higher grade that is designed to be stained. This species has a green tint to it and will often feature dark purple or black streaks. Sapele Quartersawn boards are created by first cutting a log into quarters, and then creating a series of parallel cuts perpendicular to the treeʼs rings. The grain is therefore relatively consistent, making it a prefered choice for woodworkers. Tigerwood Sapele is a wood species that closely mirrors Mahogany. It features the typical color and grain pattern of Mahogany, is harder than African Mahogany, but it is less stable than African Mahogany. Tigerwood is a boldly striped wood. The base color of this species is a reddish brown that features dark brown or nearly black stripes. The stripes follow the grain of the wood and often form prominent patterns. This durable wood requires a seal to prevent natural cracking. 5

8 Red Oak Red Oak is the most common species used for wood stair parts in the United States. This wood is plentiful, easy to use, and one of the easiest woods to stain. It has a coarse open grain and ranges in color from pink, to light brown, to green. Acorn Acres Antique Gray Coffee Copper Dark Knight FC-9912 FC FC FC FC FC FC FC FC FC FC Golden Brown 6

It is a close-grained wood that has a medium density and strength, is finely textured, and does not require filling. Its color varies from pale tan to reddish-gray to white; it also sometimes features streaks. 7

10 Walnut Walnut is a premium wood for building a naturally dark stairway. This species is also called American or Black Walnut and is rarely stained due to its beautiful natural hue. Its tight-flowing grain is easy to sand and polishes exceptionally. White Oak White Oak is a harder, more water-resistant cousin to Red Oak. It is often slightly gray or green in color, its grain patterns tend to swirl, and it has longer grain bands than Red Oak. White Oak is the easiest species of wood to stain, and is used frequently in furniture. 41 Antique Gray Asbury Briar Chocolate Spice Copper Dark Knight Driftwood FC FC FC FC Golden Brown Light Asbury Malaguania 8 Michaelʼs Cherry MW-EB-OY2718 Sealy Storm Gray
