For unfinished hardwoods, I believe most people use the 2-1/4", 3/4" solid oak but, is it usually white oak or red? Is it typical to use #1, #2, or #3 Common? Also, what is the typical stain & poly formula for a Gunstock color?
And lastly, I've read here that it is typical to butt the top stair nose piece to the groove side of the first row and use a spline. Why is this? What is the problem with installing the first row with the tongue side into the groove of the nose piece?
Mucho grassyass for the info!
