Alder
Alder is grown in North America and Europe. The dull orange brown color when first cut changes to a light reddish brown with streaks as the wood matures. This straight grained wood works well in carving and woodwares.

Additional Information
We try to bring in FAS (First and Second) grade when available. This hardwood is sold S2S, skip surfaced on both faces and left rough on the edges, and sold by the board foot. The widths and lengths can vary by board.
Our rule of thumb when selling our hardwoods is that we will cross-cut a board and sell only what the customer needs, provided we can return 6’ of the board back to stock. All hardwoods can be dressed down to your project specifications in our woodshop for an additional fee.
S2S
Our 4/4 board is dressed 13/16/” to 7/8” thick and sold by the board foot.
