3" Hickory Butcher Block Tread

Make a confident architectural statement with the 3” Hickory 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. 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. The 3” thickness is a popular choice for Viewrail FLIGHT floating stair systems, complemented beautifully by cable or glass railing.
