3-1/2" Hickory Butcher Block Tread

The 3½” Hickory 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. Hickory is the hardest and most character-rich domestic hardwood in our lineup, with a Janka rating of 1,820. Its dramatic color variation—ranging from pale cream sapwood to deep reddish-brown heartwood—delivers a bold, one-of-a-kind look on every tread. Hickory’s natural knots and swirling grain patterns make it ideal for rustic, farmhouse, or eclectic stair designs where personality and toughness matter most. 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.
