A couple months ago I installed about 800 sq ft of peruvian walnut floor upstairs. (The attached picture is from the store selling the flooring) SWMBO is gently reminding me that it is time to start on the stairs. The stairs are currently carpet covered and I don't know exactly what I am going to find when I pull up the carpet. I bought a piece of peruvian walnut from the lumber yard to make carpet transitions and they turned out nice, but a little darker than the floor. Do you have any suggestions for what wood I should use for the stair treads and landing?
