I was wondering if Oscar put more than one stain on the steps to make them dark cherry since I can't find the actual dark cherry color anywhere. Secondly, the bottom 4 steps are easy to convert over with the 1x3 oak wood, but how do you finish the top step? There is not enough room to fit a piece in there and I was wondering if there are any ideas or if it is just left as is? Thanks for all opinions and suggestions.
