Haven't worked with alder yet ... Anything you'd like to share about your experience working with this wood?
A little bit softer than poplar. Stains very well. Red birch plywood works well with if if stained. I only use expensive Adler veneer ply on especially visible spots. Great mid toned wood for darker stain projects. If you stain light colored wood dark the background is always light, or all the grain is covered and you might as well have used paint!
I have built lots of furniture for my wife out of alder. The soft tone is her favorite. It is easy to work with and the only finish I use is natural Danish oil with a cote of poly, brings out the color.
