4" Thick Poplar Stair Tread - Butcher Block

The 4” Poplar Butcher Block Stair Tread is the ultimate expression of solid wood craftsmanship. At a commanding 4” thick, these treads are built from solid 5/4 lumber glued face-to-face, showcasing exceptional face grain on all 6 sanded and finished sides. A 1/8” roundover on every edge completes the refined look. Poplar is a fine-grained hardwood with a smooth, consistent surface that excels as a paint-grade option, delivering a flawless finish when painted. Its light green-to-cream coloring and even texture make it an ideal substrate for custom color schemes. While softer than oak or maple (Janka 540), Poplar is a cost-effective choice for painted staircases where a perfect, uniform surface matters 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. At 4”, these treads make an unforgettable impression on Viewrail FLIGHT floating stairs paired with cable or glass railing.
