Alder Econ grade 4/4 and 5/4 are appropriate for shorter frame components, core stock and finger joint blocks. Alder Econ thick stock is appropriate for short turnings and sound frame parts. The best face yields a minimum of 33-1/3% structurally sound cuttings. We grade after drying and surfacing, and against all natural drying or surfacing defects (pin knot no defect).
