   Begin by taking raw wooden planks that will serve as stair treads. Use a router to shape and finish the edges of each plank, creating a desired profile (e.g., rounded or beveled). After routing, thoroughly sand the entire surface of each plank, including the routed edges, using an orbital sander to achieve a smooth finish. Once sanded, apply a protective and decorative wood stain or finish to all surfaces of the treads using a small paint roller. Ensure even coverage and allow proper drying time between coats as per product instructions.
