Stair stringer

When I cut the balcony and the adjacent stair opening, I left enough room to add a stringer. This completes the look of the baseboard trim up the staircase and addresses the slight warp in the pocket door wall that the stairs follow.
I used 1/16" thick basswood sheet to make the stringer, tracing the outline of the stairs flush with the back and lower front. I added a little extra to the top to trim the stairs. I painted the visible part of the stringer Vintage White by Folk Art and the back edge black.
At the base of the stairs, the stringer meets the baseboard trim. I glued the stringer to the stairs to keep it in place. The stairs are still removable at this point, because I need to be able to work on the railing and newel posts.
