A little late, but it would be beautiful if you had made the stairs in end grain… ( a lot more work, I know )

Impressive. I loved the picture of the grain. This on my list to do. I consult you, pine do not absorbs moisture easily? And easily expands? This causes not peel off?.

GerardoArg1,
I don’t know the answers to your questions. I did the stair tread job for a neighbor and had quite a bit of beautiful pine cut-offs left over. I did a little research on using the pine as cutting board material and learned that, in some parts of the country, it is quite common. Southern pine was labled as too soft, but other pines were considered up to the task. I’m not quite sure what type of pine I used, but figured if they were hard enough to be marketed as stain grade stair treads, they must be of the harder pine variety. At least that’s my logic. I’ll let you know how it holds up.
