Looks beautiful. We have plans to build an addition someday and they include ripping out our staircase and putting in a spiral one. We originally were planning a spiral staircase but last minute changes led to us going with traditional stairs.

This looks like something I could take on myself with oak that is already on the property.

agreed, I have a pic of one like this in a log cabin book, they used wooden posts vertically bolted at the end of each step, then strung heavy rope through holes at the top of the posts for a hand railing, it looks awesome

I bet a railing would help strengthen the steps as well. From what I have seen in spiral stair kits is that the railing is an integral part of the build.

If I was going to build this, I would also frame it from the steps to the floor, creating a nook under the steps and adding strength, kind of like this
