Hi all.
I've been searching T & P's site and see they have 38mm x 300mm
southern yellow pine...also 25mm x 250mm.
Is this SYP the right stuff for the string and treads?

Thanks.

Arthur,

If the old pocket can afford the cost, the best stuff to use is Parana
pine - it's classed as a sem-hardwood with a fantastic grain - and stairs
were nearly always made of it.

As a matter of interest, I have a small desk tidy and printer stand made of
Parana sitting on my desk as I type - to an old chippie, that's bliss. :-)
