Knotty Alder Lumber shares the same color and grain pattern as Superior Alder the only difference is that what would be considered defects in the superior grade is now called character. In addition this character provides a unique rustic looking. This lumber is mainly used to build furniture, cabinets and other framing applications. Knotty Alder is a great money saving alternative to Superior Alder if you only need narrow and short length pieces.
Rustic traits of Knotty Alder Lumber:
1. Open and closed knots sizes will vary from pinhole knots to over an inch wide open knots.
2. Bark Pockets – bark that is partly or completely enclosed in the board.
3. Checking – surfaced stress cracks going across the grain mainly caused by seasoning.
4. Shake – separation along the grain.
