We work with a comprehensive range of Australian and imported hardwoods: Tasmanian oak and Victorian ash for their warmth and workability; Spotted Gum and Blackbutt for outstanding hardness and durability in high-traffic stairs; American oak for a finer grain and that slightly European character that suits contemporary and coastal designs. For stairs that will be carpeted, treated pine provides an economical and structurally sound base.
