**449,00 € / m³ (449,00 € / m³)**

Unedged alder timber of prime (extra) grade is a sawn timber product with a moisture content (MC) of 8–10% (kiln-dried), used for manufacturing bespoke furniture, designer live-edge worktops, and premium paneling. The solid wood, available in thicknesses of 32 mm and 52 mm, features a clean face clear of knots, with a uniform texture and colour. Available for purchase from 1 board. Self-collection and shipping across Ukraine are available.

## Characteristics of Extra Grade Unedged Alder

Board grade is a classification of timber based on natural wood features. This includes the number and type of knots, presence of cracks or sapwood, and uniformity of texture and colour. Grade primarily determines aesthetic qualities rather than basic physical-mechanical properties. Given the same species and correct moisture content, grade has almost no effect on board strength.

Features of **Extra (Prime) Grade** boards:

- Elite timber with a clean surface: uniform texture and homogeneous colouring.
- Knots, sapwood, cracks, or sharp colour changes are not permitted.
- This is material for furniture fronts, wall panels, and other interior items where visual perfection is required.

## Characteristics of Grade 1 Unedged Alder

The concept of wood grading is based on classifying sawn timber by its visual characteristics. It takes into account the number and classifications of knots, the potential presence of checks, shakes, and sapwood, as well as the uniformity of the grain pattern and color shade. The main point to remember is that the grade primarily determines the aesthetic appearance rather than the structural reliability of the material. If boards of the same species have undergone proper kiln drying (KD), the mechanical strength of the sawn timber will be virtually identical, regardless of its grade.

Features of **Grade 1** boards:

- The “Gold Standard” for joinery works: the surface is practically without features, but the price is more accessible.
- Isolated live (light) knots of small diameter and minor natural shade variations are permitted.
- An optimal choice for worktops, staircases, parquet, and cabinet furniture where the natural wood pattern is valued.

## Advantages of Unedged Alder Boards

1. **Maximum Economic Value.** This is the most affordable type of timber. The cost per cubic metre of unedged board is significantly lower than edged board. This is because the price does not include the costs of edge trimming and the percentage of production waste. It is the optimal choice for those with equipment for self-cutting or those seeking a budget solution.
2. **Unique “Live Edge” Aesthetics.** In joinery, the unedged edge (waney edge) is not a defect, but an aesthetic feature. Preserving the natural contour of the trunk allows for the creation of exclusive furniture in loft, eco, rustic, and country styles. Ideally suited for popular resin river tables, non-standard windowsills, bar counters, and headboards. 3. **Cutting Freedom.** When working with edged boards, the craftsman is limited by the strict geometry of the timber. Unedged board offers freedom: you decide how to work around a knot or crack. This is particularly valuable when manufacturing curved parts, such as chair legs or decor elements, as it allows you to extract more usable raw material from the board.
3. **Universal Application.** Depending on the species and grade, this material covers a wide range of tasks. It ranges from construction (shuttering, scaffolding) to design tasks (live edge worktops, non-standard windowsills).

## Unedged Alder Board: Dimensions

WoodWay Expert offers high-quality unedged boards made from selected and properly dried timber. The timber is stored in appropriate conditions. Our warehouse stocks solid boards in the following dimensions:

- Thickness: 32 mm, 52 mm.
- Width: from 20 cm.
- Length: 1–4.5 m.

Boards exceeding 3 m in length incur a +20% surcharge on the listed price. Our specialists will help you choose quality material for projects of any complexity and scale. We provide an additional service of rough cutting for more convenient transport.

## Features of Kiln-Dried Alder Boards

- **Dimensional Stability.** During kiln drying, wood moisture is brought to an average of 8–10%, which is optimal for interior use. Controlled temperature and humidity regimes significantly reduce internal stresses in the solid wood. Consequently, the board behaves predictably during cutting and further processing. The risk of warping, distortion, or shrinkage cracks is significantly lower. Products made from kiln-dried wood retain their shape better over time under stable operating conditions.
- **Biological Purity.** Temperature regimes in kiln drying inhibit the development of mould and fungi. It destroys most insect pest larvae, specifically woodworm. As a result, the timber enters production in a biologically safe state, which is especially important for furniture and joinery production.
- **Quality of Mechanical and Finish Processing.** Dry wood has a stable structure, directly influencing processing results. During milling and sawing, tools work cleaner, and the edge emerges smooth without excessive fuzz or chipping. Sanding proceeds evenly, fibres do not “raise”, and stains, oils, and varnishes penetrate deeper into the pores. This ensures reliable adhesion and a stable finish.

## Applications of Unedged Alder Board

### Alder Worktops

Joinery board is a suitable material for manufacturing wear-resistant worktops for desks, coffee tables, and side tables. Solid board is also used for the production of bar tops, reception desks, counters, kitchen islands, and work surfaces.

### Alder Furniture Fronts

Substantial wardrobes, chests of drawers, sideboards, shelving units, and floor-standing or wall-hung cabinets made from furniture board last for decades. Such items are used to furnish both residential and public spaces. Timber furniture fronts withstand daily operational loads.

### Internal Stair Elements from Alder

The timber is chosen for manufacturing turned balusters, newel posts, handrails, and risers. The material lends itself well to turning, allowing craftsmen to carve complex details without the risk of chipping or cracking. The species is easily stained, so products made from the soft solid wood can be integrated into design projects of various styles.

### Decorative Elements from Alder Wood

Unique texture makes every item, whether a massive wall panel or a miniature key holder, an exclusive design object. The wood’s ability to easily undergo various types of finishing (staining, varnishing, brushing) allows decor to be integrated into any style. This ranges from Scandinavian minimalism to rustic.

## Alder Wood: Species Characteristics

Alder (*Alnus*) grows in Asia, Europe, and North Africa. This deciduous tree belongs to the softwoods. Alder reaches heights of up to 35 m, with an average trunk thickness of 40–50 cm.

The wood has a dense and uniform structure with sapwood and heartwood that are virtually indistinguishable in colour. The alder colour palette includes light beige, cream, and golden-pink shades with brown and red inclusions. The wood canvas darkens under the influence of sun and air. Alder is distinguished by a delicate pattern: distinct lines are visible but not contrasting against the general background.

At 12% moisture content, the density is 520–550 kg/m³; alder furniture is comparatively lightweight. On the Brinell scale, the solid wood hardness is 2.7. Alder is used for vertical surfaces (doors, facades, panels).

The wood is quite viscous, so it does not split when nailing or screwing. Tools do not blunt during cutting, and the cut remains clean without chipping. Alder is suitable for carving: shaped cornices, cabriole legs, and decorative overlays are made from the solid wood.

It polishes easily and quickly, yielding a smooth satin surface. Alder is easily stained to resemble cherry, walnut, mahogany, or ebony. When painted with enamels, the wood provides an even surface without texture sinking.
