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. This species typically runs narrower than some of our other species with average widths between 3-1/2″ and 5″ wide.

What’s the difference in these Hardwoods?
S2S: Skip surfaced on both faces and left rough on the edges. Most of our hardwoods come in S2S from the mill. This is going to be the most economical way to purchase our hardwoods. S2S hardwoods are only sold here at the store. Need the boards milled? See our Woodshop Services available upon request when purchasing the boards.
