Knotty Alder

Knotty Alder is a hardwood species celebrated for its rustic charm and distinctive character. Featuring visible knots, varied grain patterns, and natural color variation, it brings warmth and authenticity to interior spaces. Commonly used in cabinetry, mouldings, doors, and architectural trim, Knotty Alder is an excellent choice for projects that emphasize natural beauty and individuality.

While it retains the smooth workability of clear Alder, Knotty Alder stands apart for its bold, organic appearance. Its moderate density allows for easy cutting, shaping, and installation, and its receptive surface supports a wide range of finishing options, from light stains that highlight natural texture to darker tones that enhance contrast and depth.
