Veneer, sawn timber, solid-wood furniture. Alder was formerly regarded as a low-quality species unsuitable for furniture until it was upgraded to a fashionable wood type.
Characteristics: Colour is red-white to brown-red. Alder becomes very dark with time. It is a decorative but often flawed wood. Black splashes and so-called hairs are typical. High-grade veneers are difficult to find.
Surface: Alder is often only oiled or waxed.
