I'm not crazy about this wood because of the low density. Too soft for my taste, I like ash and hickory better. It does work nicely though. Not a bad price you have.

I love alder. I've made several Mexican theme dining tables, entry doors, and cabinets over the years. It's probably not a good choice if youre wanting to make something that'll take a beating because its prety soft. For southwestern / mexican style stuff, this is the best. Of course, thre's also mesquite but its not nearly as inexpensive.

Most of my doors (I make custom entry doors) are made from knotty alder. My customers love it, and it's pretty easy to work with. It doesn't take stain perfectly even though. Sometimes people prefer that blotchy look for their southwest homes. I've bought some from woodworkerssource before (came with sound knots, straight borads, nice stuff) but my main supplier is local (calif).
