Like Alan's post earlier, I too gluede up the treads and the landing using Ash.
The landing was intended to look like a sunburst which gives the appearance of leading you around to the next set of steps. I also used costruction adhesive with angle brackets from behind, that way the fasteners were not exposed. I finished with 4 coats of oil base poly with the last coat being satin. Here is a page that shows additionals pictures of the project.

The stairs is just part of the Entryway remodeling project. Still to be made are all from ash, a hand rail, a set of 6 foot bifold panel doors and a coat rack which will match the look of the cutom moldings I made around the doors and window.
