Reviews for Alder 8/4 Lumber

I received a beautiful piece of alder for a fireplace mantel project. It was very well wrapped and delivered quickly. I would definitely order here again. It was very nice to have a broad selection of choices available when making my selection.

The right size for the large molding trim I was making for a wall clock.

The small amount that I purchased was beautiful looking and will serve my project perfectly

Thanks for catching my error in measurement prior to shipping. The wood was great quality. When I opened the box a bright light protruded from inside the box and a loud harmonious sound came out...LLLLLAAAAAAA!!! It was truly amazing !

I was just sitting here trying to figure out how I can get the two guitar bodies I had planned for this wood, and just couldn't make it work. So I measured. Usually you guys treat me well, but I guess you are mad at me for some reason. I ordered and paid for (I think..) 5 board feet, but I recieved less than 4 board feet any way I measure.... You shorted me on some curly maple in the same order, but only by 1/2 a board foot.

I was mostly pleased with the order I made for this slab of 8/4 Alder. One problem I did have was, when placing the order, I saw that there was the option of ordering 'knotty' lumber at a reduced price. I chose the Alder that was supposed to not have knots, but when I received it, there were several knots throughout the slab. The Alder was for a guitar body, and I'll have to strategically piece the wings of the guitar to avoid the knotted sections. Otherwise I was very happy with the order, and I will certainly order from Woodworkers Source again.

Great pieces of wood. I didn't expect much from Alder, having limited experience with it in the past and I originally intended to cover them with a prettier veneer. But once I got the blanks and looked at the pretty grain figure, I decided to use them as is. No complaints and it was a great decision!

Ordered 12 bf and when I opened it up it had 5 knots throughout the 2 pieces I was sent. I ordered so I could build a few guitar bodies and will be lucky to get 1&1/2 out of what I was sent. Emailed and called and had to leave a message and no response from customer service.

Very nice quality. Consistent grain, no blemishes.

Customer service will be in contact with you about making arrangements to ship you some replacement lumber. Very sorry to hear about this! We'll get it fixed. Thank you.

The Alder wood I received from you was exceptional. It was exactly as described. It was well wrapped for shipping. No complaints.

The cleanest lumber I ever received. These guys deliver more than you expect. Will buy again for sure.

Great all around. Good product, great communication, will order from this supplier again

While Alder is typically ordinary in appearance, this stock is actually causing me to pause before painting it. It has very nice grain patterns. The lumber was dimensionally accurate and arrived very promptly (no long lead times) with very little damage from shipping. I also appreciated the help I received with dimensional board feet and yield. My order of Alder will produce two very fine electric guitar bodies.
