 Alder plywood is of the western red variety. Extremely uniform in its honey color, making it very easy to finish.
Alder is the most commonly used hardwood in the Pacific Northwest. Closely related to birch, alder is almost white when first cut but quickly changes once exposed to air, becoming light brown with a yellow or reddish tinge. Only the older trees produce hardwood when there is no visible gap between sap and heartwood. The wood is fairly straight-grained with a uniform texture. Alder is an exceptional wood to machine or turn, and paints or stains to a good finish. When stained, it blends with walnut, mahogany or cherry. Knotty Alder, a lower grade alder containing knots, is commonly used for the southwest look. Alder plywood is ideally suited for cabinets, fine furniture, and furniture frames.
ANSI Standards allow for various knots in Alder.
