Would RecommendThin for wood riser board. I recommend running 150 grit sandpaper over it before painting. Leaves a smoother wood grain.

Decided to spend the money and go with real oak
Would Not RecommendAfter I bought this, I decided to spend a little bit more and get real red oak risers to match the oak tread instead of this product. Very glad I did. I was upgrading just two carpeted stairs to be hardwood and not doing a whole stair case, so it was worth it to me. I used minwax pecan color to stain the oak twice and then put three coats of polyurethane on it. The result far exceeded my expectations. Glad I did not skimp.

Risers
Would RecommendHad to cut a few to the right width and repainted as it easily gets dirty. Love the 2 toned stairs though.
