Afternoon Board.
I have been instructed by my wife that I need a new project
We live in a 1970s house with a 1970s staircase.
To start the ball rolling, and as we had nothing else to do, we had a stroll around B&Q
The was basically 3 different materials to choose from (pine, light oak, hemlock)
They obviously had different prices.
My 1st question is, why is hemlock considerably cheaper than oak.
I appreciate it is a soft wood, but does this make it a no no for banisters etc.
Thanks in advance for any advice on this subject
(there will be more questions to come)
