Alder Ginevra '03
Heavy design, cherry coulor
Timber: Alder (Alnus glutinosa)
Alder is a little known timber,and regarded by many as a weed.
Infact it produces beautiful timber that is very stable. With the
older growth stock the colors can include dark brown in the heart
wood but it usually produces a creamy orangey colour.The growth
produced can vary from straight to wavy with the latter creating
ripple figure through the timber. Older trees can develop burrs
on the trunk and these tend to be around the base of the tree. The
figure produced in the burr is stunning and is typical consisting
of a tight mass of small pin knots with wild grain in between.
