[QUOTE="Dave Boyt, post: 4903970, member: 74006"] Walnut is one of the most stable woods, so you've got that going for you. To clarify Mdavlee's comment, the quarter sawn wood is more stable, though this will not be an issue if it is kiln dried and sealed. Getting the wood kiln dried may be an issue, though. Wood that thick will take special drying, and most kiln operators won't make a special load for your stair treads. That alone may dictate that you go with laminated wood. The laminated wood will have less stress in any case. [/QUOTE]
