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

floor). I'm far from an expert at identifying wood species but 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?

Here is a picture I took of an item on the floor which may help
identify. Disregard the item.

Thank you


Now that you know what kind of wood to use, what color are you going to
paint it?


I think we decided that it's *not* cherry.



Oh..... then what are his options????? ;~)
