Okay, back to my ongoing staircase remodel…
You’ll see in earlier blog posts that I’ve already stained and finished the new treads and newel posts. Now it’s time to remove the old treads in preparation for the new ones. Although the old treads weren’t the prettiest pieces in the world, I was hoping to salvage them to eventually refinish the wood and maybe re-purpose them as shelves somewhere. So, rather than going hog-wild with the demolition, I tried to remove them in an orderly fashion to avoid unnecessary damage.
