Wood Species

Watson Stairs stocks handrail, treads, and newels in red oak. We stock some balusters in poplar and some in pre-primed. Stocked items are naturally our most economical products, however we are equipped to manufacture most parts in just about any species you desire. Below are some of the most common species that we are asked to use. Currently white oak is very popular, but we also use walnut, American cherry, hard maple, Brazilian cherry, mahogany, Australian cypress, and heart pine regularly
