2-1/2" Walnut Butcher Block Tread

Elevate your staircase with the 2½” Walnut Butcher Block Stair Tread—a bold, substantial tread that commands attention from every angle. Solid 5/4 boards are glued face-to-face to achieve the full 2½” thickness, showcasing beautiful face grain on all 6 sanded and finished sides. A 1/8” roundover on every edge adds a refined finishing touch. Walnut is one of the most coveted hardwoods in the world, celebrated for its rich chocolate-brown heartwood with subtle purple and gray undertones. Each tread showcases Walnut’s naturally striking grain, which varies from straight to wavy, lending every staircase a sense of warmth and luxury. At 1,010 Janka, Walnut is moderately hard and notably stable—resisting shrinking and warping—making it as practical as it is beautiful. Available in standard widths of 36”, 42”, 48”, 54”, 60”, and 72”—or specify a custom size—with an 11-1/4” depth that meets code. Choose unfinished to apply your own stain or clear coat, or select a pre-finished option for a ready-to-install tread. These treads look exceptional paired with Viewrail FLIGHT floating stairs, cable railing, or glass railing for a seamless modern aesthetic.
