Hi Mike,

Is that a new code?  I designed and made a staircase about 12 years
ago.  I thought I remembered 8 inch max but that may have been for
non living areas like a basement.

My one claim to fame in woodworking:  my one and only staircase ever
was a solid oak, circular staircase in the entry of a big house.
curved over 90 degrees, hugged a curved wall on one side and with a
curved bannister on the other.

Fun project ONCE.  Paid for lots of woodworking tools!
