Reviews for Alder Knotty 4/4 Lumber Pack: 6 Boards, Choose Your Size

I bought 6 pcs 46" and 6 pcs 36". Made a coffee table and used probably 1/3 of total or less. Overall, these were fine and I'd buy them again. Here are three things to note: 1. The boards were advertised as 4"+ and almost all were actually closer to 5". However, two narrowed toward the ends and only about 3" of width was usable for the entire length. I ended up with slightly less than 24" of usable width after ripping the rough edges (24" should have been the minimum I got) for the 46" inch boards. 2. These boards were one inch thick, not 13/16" as advertised. While this may be a good thing, I had to find a way to get them planed down to 3/4 without a planer. 3. All the boards were really straight and looked better than I was expecting.

Quick arrival. Nicely packaged.

as expected

I bought Alder to match our house decor. I needed to make a partition in our multi-media closet to support an articulating tv mount and surround sound system that would also hide the tangle of wires supporting the technology. The solution was to make two doors of alder that matched the closet doors and attach them to sturdy framing that would support the leverage and weight of the mounts. It turned out great. Perfect match with the closet doors including stain and finish.

Ordered 40BFT for a credenza build for my daughter and was very happy with the quality of the wood. The knotty look is something that my daughter enjoys so this wood is perfect for this project.

Received a nominal 20 bd ft of very nice boards. dimensions were good, one board was 7 in. by 84 in. The number and size of knots was less than I expected. A good selection. Delivery was timely.

Needed a wood for a reproduction of a farmhouse coffee table. The alder was an alternative to using pine. The wood was packaged well and arrived in good time. It had a few small cracks/voids, but that is expected in knotty alder. I have filled them with epoxy. I was pleased with the wood selection and size for being a craft pack. Appearance is better than what I expected. I haven't had a chance to work with it because I am in the middle of building some desks for the beginning of the virtual school year.

Ordered 20 bf of 4/4 Knotty Alder. Wood beautifully knotted, will make a outstanding hope/blanket chest.

Thanks it was good doing business with you

I've never used this wood outside of door trim before and I was impressed on the quality that was given to me. This company is outstanding and I will be purchasing all my lumber from them till the end of time!

Was very satisfied with the order and the thickness was 13/16.

The color of this wood is beautiful and the boards I received in the project pack were good quality with gobs of character. All the boards were straight and useable. After finishing my first project I ordered another project pack right away. This wood loves Tung Oil and turns a beautiful amber brown with just a light treatment. Soft and super easy to shape and work with.

Very pleased with the quality of the lumber and the extra care and effort expended in filling the order. You guys are the best!

I was able to build a nice little vanity cabinet that matched my existing cabinets using this project pack.

Very happy overall.

All of the boards were 8 ft. long and at least 6 in. wide with very few knots. Very little unusable wood.

It was excellent. I have been a WWsource customer for years and have always been happy with the product and service.

I'm very new to woodworking and this product was a perfect place to start. I'm about halfway through a bookshelf project for my daughter and the wood has been great. It's all straight and true and is going together well.

The wood I received was completely what I expected. I keep a supply on hand to meet my needs when rustic projects are needed. I've purchased before and always been satisfied with what has been shipped.

Received my knotty alder and it was packaged very nicely. The wood was in great shape. I was able to cut around the knots and get a lot of clear wood, the areas with the knots will make some interesting bowls as well First of many purchases from your company
