Our staircase is holding up really well and it looks awesome. My husband Chris is just *now* (uhm, almost one year later) working on the finish work, which I will post one when he's done. Our travertine tread is 1.25" thick. We got the travertine in south San Francisco from some really great people who run Turkstone. The website is http://www.turkstone.net/. We back filled on parts of the stair with the remainder travertine left over from the bullnose purchase. For the risers, we used travertine from Bedrosians or from Home Depot. With this style of travertine, it's not necessary to get an exact match, so that's a plus. Hi Ernie (or Judith?). Our staircase is holding up really well and it looks awesome.

Trying to do the same thing and no one knows where I can buy the bullnose tread. How thick was your travertine tread? Will be pulling up the carpet and have wood on the sides of the stairs already. How is it holding up? Thanks Great job. Love your staircase. Trying to do the same thing and no one knows where I can buy the bullnose tread. How thick was your travertine tread?
