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 stained and glazed finishes inspired by handcrafted design. The consistency of glazing will vary greatly from one wood species and door design to another. All final selections should be made from an actual door sample because no two trees grow identically, and the grain, texture, and base color of wood will vary. Please be aware that variations will also appear from door to door within your cabinetry.
