Stairs

The stairs that go up into the lofts are open stairs. We are using wood that we milled from trees we cut down on the house site. We decided to go for a little bit of a rustic look on the stairs and did not run the raw boards through a planner and sander. Instead we just did a basic sanding job so you would not get any splinters, but this way you can still see the mill's saw marks on the boards.

The treads are 11" wide, and 2" thick. The small black braket is 1 1/2" angle iron which I cut up and Terry painted.
