A lot of the time when the cove molding is applied under the tread, it is nailed ti the under side of the tread and it rubs against the riser. As the stair case is walked on it has some deflection and the cove moves with the tread not the riser....Squeek, squeek!!

The newel posts, railing and wrought iron balusters are installed. Customer is very happy. Kitchen cabinets and built-ins are next.
Got to make sure I schedule some vacation days before things get crazy busy.

When applying the cove moulding, I glue the entire length of it on the surfaces that contact the riser and tread. I use 1 1/4" brads at an angle that penetrates the riser and extends into the tread. If no excess glue squeezes out then I haven't used enough. |

I agree with this method ( I do the same) but a lot of guys dont take the time to sand the primer off the top edge of the riser so the glue will stick. They don't understand the way wood glue works....it doesn't stick to paint/primer.
Those stairs look great! I am starting to like metal balusters more and more. |

These balusters were really easy to work with, only thing I had to be careful keeping the pattern right.
I drew this mantle and built-ins with autocad. Customer approved it with no changes. I'll start that after the kitchen install.
Spence ....they promised me ....no tv up there!

Quality craftsmanship right there. You do nice work Rmarsh. I did a lot of highend stairs in the eighties but have not had the opportunity again. I did a stairway on Long island with similar balusters as the one you have pictured. They were not as ornate but they were steel and were blued by a gunsmith. They were a sight to see on a long semi circular stairway.
