Staircase - ID'ing species of wood and tips to renovate
Hi All,
I have just lifted the carpet and underlay from our staircase, and was hoping someone may have an inkling as to what species of timber these stairs are made from. Any ideas??
We were orginally planning to just re-carpet the stairs, but would prefer not to do this if there is any chance that they will polish up nicely. So my next question is whether these will come up nicely once gaps and holes are filled, and they are sanded and polished?
The rest of the floor is going to be Karri, and I was even thinking of dressing up the risers with Karri boards, and just sanding and polishing the existing treads.
Any other tips/advice to get these stairs looking good will be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jonty
