I would think that if you're going to stain it, you'd want the longest board on the unfinished step to be all one piece. It would look nicer that way.
I'm wondering how sturdy that little end piece on the step is. It doesn't look like it will stay in place if an adult puts his/her full weight on the edge of it.
The flooring does look beautiful.
Are you going to use a stairnose (?) to transition the flooring of the landing to the riser above the unfinished step? I'm just wondering because I have laminate flooring that ends at the top of a stairway too. So far I haven't figured out what to do with it.
