I have often wondered why it is that
Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".

Nice carve. Have not heard many on here using Alder for carving.

Alder is common around here, the grain is tight and it takes a good carving, I do a lot of outdoor carvings too.

I use alder a lot. Like Perry said it carves very well with minimal fuzzies. I use what is considered cabinet grade and get it from a local guy who gets it from a commercial cabinet shop. The pieces are mostly end pieces to small for what they need. He gets it by the pick up load.Originally Posted by RogerB
This a lot better quality of wood that you will get at the big box stores.

Alder is a special order in most wood shops here. Maple or Birch around this area. I work in a wood shop. The only one in this area. I get to play with wood from all around the world. The nice thing is the end cuts.
