Your choices, your lifestyle.
Alder is a very popular wood choice for cabinetry. It is a medium-hard Pacific Coast hardwood. The wood tends to be a light tan to reddish brown and the color darkens and reddens with age. There is very little distinction between heartwood and sapwood. Alder has a straight grain, a uniform texture, and a subtle figure. Generally, Alder wood has small “Pin” knots, under a quarter inch in diameter.
Rustic Alder shares the same attributes as Alder, and features a random blend of natural characteristics (shown here) that occur much more frequently than in Alder. Knots may be open and seen though.
