Red Alder

CA$0.00

Red Alder (Alnus rubra) also know as Western Red Alder. Grown on the Pacific West Coast of North America.

Red Alder comes in at 590 on the Janka Hardness scale.

Red alder tends to be a light tan to reddish brown; color darkens and reddens with age. There is no visible distinction between heartwood and sapwood. Large aggregate rays appear as occasional small streaks on the face grain that can be mistaken for defects in the wood.

Red alder is the most abundant hardwood in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, and is a commercially important lumber. The wood has good stability with little movement in service once fully dried. It’s sometimes used as a lower-cost alternative to Black Cherry.

Stocked in 4/4 other thicknesses available by order please contact us if thicker dimensions are needed.
