What advice can you give on attaching veneer to treads and risers? The
stairs I work on are oak, except for the treads and risers which must
be some cheap wood and covered with carpet. Is attaching veneer to all
exposed sides the way to go or can I get a better look by attaching a
real oak bullnose to the front and then attaching veneer everywhere
else? Is there any specific glue to use, how to smooth the edges where
two veneer sides meet? I have a 1/2" router, will that be useful for
that?

I know some people dont recommend this saying veneer wears out and its
slippery etc. but some of my customers want this done to their
carpeted staircases to give it a wood look cheaply.
