I have been remodeling my basement and its time to do the stairs. I had planned on putting in solid oak treads but the cost would be over $300. So I am putting in yellow pine treads and will try to stain it to a nice oak color. I know it won't look like oak but it still will look pretty nice. My question, What type of finish should I put on the stairs? If I use polyurethane how long will it last? What about an oil finish like tung oil?
Sorry for so many questions, I don't know much about finishing wood that will recieve much wear.
Thanks,
Stephen
