All the treads ARE engineered walnut flooring The bullnose tread edge is solid walnut which comes from the manufacturer to match their flooring.

Thanks Dave!

Your very welcome!

Hi Dave, these stairs are 3/4" walnut with a expresso stain, not engineered. However your idea would work if you used engineered hard wood,. the inverted cove would cover the edge, but why? Engineered wood is more expensive than solid, so you are not saving the client anything and making the job harder to complete.

The "edge" or the inverted cove, as we refer to it, is hand sanded and stained on sight.

Please feel free to call me anytime if you have questions regarding FloorWerks projects.
