Design note: The last oak tread at the bottom of the stair is called a bullnose tread, in this case because the stair extends beyond the wall, the tread is a double bullnose tread that has been notched to fit the wall. The stair stringer configuration is an open or Cut one side. Notice how the wall side of the stair has a different stringer then the open side of the stair. The step overhangs the stringer on the side opposite the wall. This stair combines oak and paint grade wood where the treads, newel post and railing are of a stain grade oak and the stringers, risers and balusters are of a paint grade material. Also, notice the wall below the open side of the stair, this is what is supporting that side of the stair, if that wall was not there, then that stringer would be of a thicker material to take up the support function the wall is providing.
