ENGRAVING CHARACTERISTICS:

Engraving Color:
Deep Brown

Engraving Contrast:
Very High

This is a tier 3 wood. Each of our materials belongs to a "tier", which simply helps you determine how expensive the material is. Our least expensive materials are in Tier 1, while our most expensive and exotic materials are in Tier 6.

Alder is typically light tan to reddish brown in color, though with time it darken a bit. Alder's very fine, even grain makes engraving very smooth. It cuts very well because of the even density of the wood and engraves with fantastic contrast, resulting in a wonderful final appearance.

Alder is typically harvested in Western North America.

ORDER A SAMPLE:

Before you make a final decision on which type of wood you'd like for your project, you can purchase a sample! Samples are available in two sizes:

— A small 3 inch square cut and engraved on 1/8" thick material - These samples are unfinished, raw wood and represent the quality of wedding invitations and signage you might be ordering.
— A larger 5 inch square cut and engraved on 3/4" thick material - These samples are lacquer-finished and faithfully represent the quality of each material as it would apply to your larger project, such as our unique boxes or inlay signs.
