I have to build a set of steps for my son’s front porch. It is a Sears home built in the 20’s is my best guess. What type of wood would you recommend? Cedar, white oak, or pressure treated or something else. I’m sure he will paint them to match the house. The trouble with pressure treated is it is so wet and shrinks. I would like to dovetail or dado the treads into the side piece for a sturdy step.


i need ideas and recommendations. Charles
