3" Walnut Butcher Block Tread

Make a confident architectural statement with the 3” Walnut 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. 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 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.
