3" Thick Ash Stair Tread - Butcher Block

Make a confident architectural statement with the 3” Ash Butcher Block Stair Tread. At a full 3” thick, these treads are built from solid 5/4 lumber glued face-to-face—delivering face grain beauty on all 6 sanded and finished sides with zero edge grain in sight. A 1/8” roundover on every edge gives a refined, intentional look. 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. The 3” thickness is a popular choice for Viewrail FLIGHT floating stair systems, complemented beautifully by cable or glass railing.
