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 is a sample of Adelphi Kitchens’ natural finish. There is no color or stain applied to this sample, and its appearance is due entirely to the characteristics of the piece of wood. A natural finish cabinet will have many pieces of wood that will vary in color, tint, and possible mineral streaking which occurs randomly. These variations are not considered defects. Neither Adelphi Kitchens nor any Adelphi Dealer can be held responsible for these naturally occurring variations.
