Natural Wood Characteristics

Solid wood is a natural material. Each board is unique and may vary in colour and grain. Occasional sound knots and other natural characteristics are part of genuine alder and are not considered defects.

Processing & Preparation

The board is supplied as solid woodworking material for further processing. Depending on the selected surface, it can be planed, sanded, cut, drilled, routed, glued and finished to suit your project.

After delivery, allow the alder to acclimatise in its intended indoor environment for around 48 hours before final machining or assembly.

The straight, parallel edges also make the boards suitable for edge-gluing into wider panels.

WHY ALDER?

Warm, fine-grained and easy to work

Alder is valued for its warm colour, fine grain and easy workability. Its calm, diffuse-porous structure gives the wood a clean, natural appearance with subtle variation from light honey to reddish-golden tones.

From shelves and wall-mounted boards to furniture components and glue-ups, solid alder is a versatile hardwood for projects where easy machining, a refined surface and a warm natural look matter.

PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Questions about our solid wood boards?

Which should I choose: rough-sawn or planed & jointed?

Choose rough-sawn if you want to machine and dimension the alder yourself.
Choose planed & jointed if you want clean surfaces and straight edges with less preparation before starting your project.

Why is the planed & jointed board thinner?

Our rough-sawn alder boards are approx. 52 mm thick. Planing and jointing removes material to create clean, even surfaces and straight edges, resulting in a final thickness of approx. 40 mm.

Can I glue several boards together to make a wider panel?

Yes. Alder is well suited for edge-gluing into wider panels. The planed & jointed option is especially convenient for projects such as tabletops, shelves and furniture panels.

Is the wood kiln-dried and ready for indoor use?

Yes. Our alder is kiln-dried to approximately 8–12% moisture content and is suitable for indoor woodworking. As with all solid wood, we recommend allowing it to acclimatise to the conditions in your workshop or room before processing.

What natural variation should I expect?

Alder naturally varies in colour, grain and structure. Individual boards may range from light honey tones to warmer reddish-golden shades and can show subtle grain variation, small knots and other natural characteristics.

Does the board have a live edge?

No. These alder boards are supplied without a natural live edge. Rough-sawn boards require further machining, while the planed & jointed option is prepared with straight longitudinal edges.
