Western Species & Grades
Alder Premium STW (4", 5", 6", 7"+)
Alder Premium STW is an appearance and structural grade with scattered sound and unsound defects. We’ve taken the next step and sorted our Premium grade into widths. Each Alder Premium board yields 83-1/3% to structurally sound fiber with restrictions on larger unsound defects on the best face.
We grade after drying and surfacing, and against all natural drying or surfacing defects (pin knot no defect).
Maximize the Value of Every Piece.
By sorting our Alder Premium into precise width ranges, we streamline your production and inventory management, ensuring you receive lumber that meets your exact specs with minimal waste. This new approach maximizes material use, guarantees precise and predictable dimensions, and makes manufacturing a little bit easier.
Currently available in 4/4.
