Western Species & Grades

Alder Standard Frame is a structurally sound grade designed for the upholstered and knock-down frame manufacturer. Alder Standard Frame will yield an assortment of long rails and shorter frame parts, which can be used for components, rustic appearance furniture and millwork. It is a 66-2/3% yield to structurally sound cuttings. The minimum cutting size is 3”x 2’. 5/4 exhibits larger defects but maintains its structural integrity due to added thickness. We grade after drying and surfacing, and against all natural drying or surfacing defects (pin knot no defect).
