Red Oak Stair Tread Return

A red oak return is the end piece that finishes the open side of a stair tread, so the nosing continues around the exposed end of the step. Use it with a standard red oak tread on open-sided stairs when you build the return on site. Red oak has a warm, slightly pinkish tone and an open grain.
