I build custom stairs and every-so-often so straight finish as
well....for a living
The stair guy where I work just left, so I figured I'd read up on it a
bit. Any books you'd recommend? "A Place of My Own", maybe?

Good idea. If you are a carpenter, you can trim stairs. The only
difference between stairs and most other finish work is that they
require a great deal of forethought and planning. There is nothing
magical about a stair builders work except having patience.
I will not trim stairs unless I have framed them or I know the framer
and we work out details. The framing is so critical esp in complex
jobs.
If you don't mind - what do you do now? Are you a finish carpenter.
What type of company do you work for? What kinds of stair work is
typical?
Joe, check your email.
