Alder Superior

Alder Superior is our most flexible alder grade with the highest yield. Combines “Select & Better” and FAS boards with backs that are Cabinet grade or better, yielding 83-1/3 clear face cuttings with minimum cutting sizes of 3” x 6’ or 4” x 3’. Alder Sup is ideal for uses requiring long, wide clear-face cuttings or multiple rips and chops.

We grade after drying and surfacing, and against all natural drying or surfacing defects (pin knot no defect).

Available Thicknesses:
  • 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4, 10/4, 12/4
