General Workability: Alder wood works great for laser cutting and engraving and produces a nice dark burn. Alder is easy to work with and cuts, sands, glues, and finishes well. Keep in mind that this wood is naturally very knotty. We try to cut out the largest knots, but can't guarantee the wood will be completely clear. Be prepared to cut around a few knots when working with Alder.
