Alder (Betulaceae Alnus)

Alder is a hardwood often used for making furniture, cabinets, millworks, and instruments. It is a diverse species used by natives for smoking meats, medicines, and dyes. Commonly referred to as “Knotty Alder” in the construction/ building materials industry due to typically including tight knots and other rustic properties.

Very popular for doors, millwork, cabinetry – we typically carry a variety of different millwork and dimensions in Knotty Alder. As well, our door department often has stain grade Knotty Alder interior and exterior doors. We can also pre-hang doors in Knotty Alder door jamb. We work with a few regional mills/ distributors to fulfill specific dimensional/ moulded pattern/ door/ and trim needs if we don’t have in stock what you need.
