In the 1900’s the village carpenters were also farmers.
Here in the Alpes people were snowed in from November to April or May. That’s at least 6 months inside. Once the snow melt everyone was outside farming to get enough food for the next winter.
During the long winter months woodworking was a major activity. Time ran at a different pace in those days and a stair could takes years to make.
This stair was not made by a highly skilled craftsman. These craftsmen were in the towns working for the rich “bourgeoisie” whereas in the mountains everyone was a farmer, baker, Shepherd, woodworker, and more. Some were more specialized but usually everyone did everything. This stair was more whittled than designed and that’s what gives it a unique rough county style.
Parts where made slowly one by one probably adjusting each part onto the next by rule of thumb and eye than by calculation.
This is a very different style from the town craftsmen who used very sophisticated techniques to mark out and build stairs.
Each way of working give a different result. Each stair has it’s charm and beauty and expresses the craftsman behind it. That’s what make each unique and beautiful, the expression of the life of the men, women and children behind the craft.

Think about it, how long do you think it took him? Even today its amazing.
