Hi,
I have oak stair treads in my home and one of the treads has split along where the tread boards were glued together. I am thinking its probably bed to just replace the tread. I'm having a hard time figuring out if its red or white oak though. I'm guessing its red though. Any way to tell for sure if its red oak? Also I do not have access to the underside of the stairs. What is the best way to remove the broken tread? How should I attach the new tread? I was thinking construction adhesive and nails but wanted input.
