Description
A member of the birch family, alder is a moderately light-colored hardwood which is cream-colored when newly cut and turns a pink-orange shade while being worked. This “color bleeding” causes mature alder wood to be beautifully tinted and veined. Alder is much sought by furniture makers due to its distinctive character.
This sample is to help you visualize approximate stain colors. No two trees grow identically, and the grain, texture, and base color of wood will vary from one piece to another. No two samples will look the same, and the finished product will not necessarily look identical to a particular sample. These variations are inherent in wood products and connoisseurs of fine wood furniture appreciate this fact. We are sure that you will be delighted with these variations and your totally unique finished product.
