I plan to finish my stairs this summer (remove carpet and add treads

think my hardwood floors are red oak. I do know when I had the floors
redone years ago they use a honey maple stain. The home was built in
1949, what type of wood do you think they would have used?

Looks like a lower grade of white oak to me... color variations, knots,
various grain orientation, ray fleck in some boards. It looks a lot like
what is left in my lumber shed of a white oak log after I used all the
"good" stuff!

I just saw this thread and the later pichures...

No question at all--it's "tree-run" random-selection white oak.
