I may start wrestling Alder timber this afternoon. As out of condition from the last 3 months of sitting on my ass as I am, it may be fun.<br /><br />ken I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-84297797087569311552020-03-08T07:55:09.088-07:002020-03-08T07:55:09.088-07:00Holy Molly USD $450 for a few boards of alder???

Reminds me of last nite at my hotel restaurant<br />Somehow when punching buttons on the debit machine i end up with a bill for cdn $5387.00 with a $539 tip. Thankfully i already paid my bills this month so it was declined phewww :-)<br /><br />Bob, who should put his glasses on more often. Oh and lots of alder growing around my land :-)Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-53982928600478288372020-03-07T20:38:26.398-08:002020-03-07T20:38:26.398-08:00I think you will like alder.

I think a lot of people would be surprised to learn how much alder wood they already have in their factory-made furniture and cabinets they thought was more expensive wood. Don't let them gouge you for alder. It grows fast and is abundant. Downside is it's a little heavy for its strength, not all that rot resistant, therefore interior use only, and it doesn't stain well: the color just never comes out right unless you go for really dark. But its perfect for a multi-color distressed milkpaint finish. Good luck with your woodworking and training numb-nuts.Covington&Sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903171228411142982noreply@blogger.com
