Alder is a durable moisture-resistant material that is light and easy to process. Alder wood is a particularly common and valued sauna material; much like aspen, it neither contains resin and nor gets too hot. The wood boasts a characteristic reddish tone and a beautiful texture. 

Alder wood has been compared to the chameleon: freshly sawn wood is bright white but soon turns yellow, then from orange to dark orange and finally a subtle pink-purple hue. High-quality musical instruments are also born from alder.
