Knotty Alder

Alder wood specifically selected for boards containing visible natural knots, pin knots, and mineral streaks that add rustic character. Knotty alder is a popular choice for farmhouse, lodge, and Tuscan kitchen designs where a natural, imperfect aesthetic is desired. It stains beautifully to warm honey, amber, and walnut tones and costs less than cherry while delivering a similar warmth.
