3-1/2" Ash Butcher Block Tread

The 3½” Ash Butcher Block Stair Tread is a showstopper—thick, solid, and finished to perfection on all 6 sides. Solid 5/4 lumber boards are glued face-to-face to reach the full 3½” thickness, showcasing rich face grain with a 1/8” roundover on every edge for a smooth, polished transition. Ash is a remarkably strong and resilient hardwood with a pronounced, open grain that gives each tread bold visual character. Its light, creamy-tan tone takes stain exceptionally well, making it a versatile choice for both light and dark color palettes. With a Janka hardness of 1,320, Ash delivers outstanding durability underfoot—a smart investment for high-traffic staircases. 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 or pre-finished to your specifications. Pair with Viewrail FLIGHT floating stairs and cable or glass railing for a dramatic, open-concept staircase. Matching landing platforms are available; complete your tread purchase and contact our customer service team to discuss your platform needs.
