Versatility and Warmth with Alder Wall Units
Alder is a versatile hardwood known for its consistent color and workability, making it an excellent choice for custom wall units. Part of the birch family, alder is moderately light and softer than many other hardwoods, allowing for easy shaping with hand or machine tools and sanding to a beautifully smooth finish. When freshly cut, alder starts white but quickly transitions to light tan or reddish brown as it is exposed to air, developing richer tones with age, similar to cherry wood.
With its moderately fine, straight grain and uniform texture, alder provides a clean, polished look that complements any room. Its stability and ability to accept stains and finishes effortlessly make it ideal for crafting wall units that are both functional and stylish. Alder wall units combine warmth, durability, and timeless charm, enhancing your space with understated elegance.
