Alder

Alder: The Perfect Choice for Versatile Woodworking Alder is a soft hardwood with a fine, straight grain and uniform texture. It’s commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, and decorative trim. Alder’s light, reddish-brown colour takes stain and paint beautifully, making it versatile for various styles. This wood is relatively easy to work with and is often used as a substitute for cherry or walnut. Alder’s affordability and workability make it a favourite among woodworkers for both custom and production pieces.
