Alder

When we started crafting floors almost two decades ago, Knotty Alder was the only wood we used. We loved it then because it was a beautiful closed grain wood, making it great for staining and finishing. And we still admire the way the knots grow soundly and flow together with the rest of the wood's grain. Visually, the grain flows around the solid knots in such a way as to create a feeling of being rustic and elegant all at the same time. That’s why we consider it to be the wood-of-choice for upscale rustic applications such as high-end cottages, chalets and residences with a craftsman motif.
