Hi Tim,

No recarpenting. Getting the stairs refinished.

In that case, what are the treads made out of? From the pic it doesn't look
like a 'good' wood, but maybe it just looks that way.

Assuming you're not going to replace the treads, then I guess I'd either go
with your option #1, or remove each tread, cut it back so that it no longer
overhangs the stringer, then add a new 'extension' out of the same wood
which is the width of the tread plus the extension.
