Characteristics of Knotty Alder

Knotty Alder is the natural choice when you’re looking for a wood with a relaxed, yet distinctive appearance. The open, solid knots found in Knotty Alder vary in size, shape and color, giving each piece its own individual pattern. When you choose Knotty Alder, no two pieces of wood will be exactly alike.

Alder is a medium density hardwood with an even grain appearance. Its softer nature makes it receptive to a variety of stains and finishes, which help further highlight its beautiful grain. Knotty Alder is naturally light brown in color, featuring hues of red to peach, which make it a complementary wood to use in any home.

The natural wood characteristics of Knotty Alder include:
· Missing or open knots in any location up to 1 ½” in diameter
· Knots in any location up to 1 ½” in diameter
· Cracks, chips within knots

It’s these unique characteristics that make Knotty Alder the perfect choice when you’re looking for wood that’s naturally distinct.
