Consistent color, stability, and uniform acceptance of stains and finishes are some of the characteristics that have made Western Alder a preferred wood for furniture. Its elasticity makes it ideal for carving intricate details. Ranking second only to oak as the most commonly used wood, alder offers the look of many fine hardwoods at an economical price. A relatively small tree, reaching about 50ft in height, it will produce a trunk up to 15\". When alder is first cut it is white but quickly changes color as soon as its exposed to enough air. Alder is consistent in color, from a pale pinkish-brown to almost white. Alder is fairly straight-grained with a smooth uniform texture; it may display pin knots, grain \"fuzz\" and mineral streaks. The growth rings are distinct, delineated by either a whitish or brownish line at the outer margin. The pores are uniformly distributed within a growth ring (diffuse porous). Rays are present and of two types, narrow (simple) and broad (aggregate). Both the pores and the rays are indistinct to the naked eye. The wood is without any characteristic taste or odor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Because of its moderate specific gravity (28 lb\/ft3, alder is not an exceptionally strong wood. In many applications this will be apparent as indentations on the surface of the wood. In furniture applications, it may be necessary to redesign joints and the sizes of structural parts to compensate for the often slightly lower strength values of red alder. Alder holds nails well and does not readily split when nails are driven into it. Lower grades of alder perform adequately as pallet material.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"4\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\" border=\"1\" width=\"80%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003eCoastal western North America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eJanka Hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e590 lb\u003csub\u003ef\u003c\/sub\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eAverage Dried Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e28 lbs\/ft\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eWorkability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003eRed Alder is very easy to work with both hand and machine tools.

In the Midwest, it is seen growing mostly in old fields with other sunlight-loving species, such as black walnut, black locust, and hackberry. It is a moderately long-lived tree, with ages of up to 258 years known, though it is prone to storm damage, with branches breaking easily; any decay resulting, however, only progresses slowly.

The wood's color deepens to its characteristic reddish brown, almost mahogany-like color when exposed to the sun. The sapwood never darkens to the same color of the heartwood. Cherry often shows a waving curly figure when finished. Heartwood can have dark spots or fine black lines that are actually gum pockets, that pose added challenges in finishing. The tangential shrinkage can be twice the radial shrinkage making warping a problem if drying is hurried. Once cherry has been dried properly, though, it is a relatively stable wood. It is as strong as maple but only about 2\/3rds as hard. Often maple is stained to look like cherry in furniture components that require a more dense wood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   In cabinetmaking, cherry is rated one of the favorites because of its beauty and versatility it has warmth, personality and charm.

It's also fairly soft, which makes it easy to work with. Poplar is white with some green or brown streaks in the heartwood. Because poplar is not the most beautiful wood, it's rarely used in fine furniture, and if it is, it's almost always painted. Poplar can be a good choice for drawers (where it won't be seen) because it is stable and inexpensive. Poplar trees are known to be one of the tallest trees, reaching heights of 160 feet and diameters of 8 feet. Poplar sapwood has a light cream to yellowish color. Poplar heartwood has a greenish brown color with streaks of gray. It is very popular because the wood is typically straight grained, with a fine texture. It is known for having very few knots, if any.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Poplar lumber has many qualities that make it a beneficial hardwood. Due to its versatility, it is great for commercial uses. Poplar lumber is most commonly used for furniture and cabinet framing construction. It shows little shrinkage and has excellent gluing qualities. It is soft and lightweight, which helps it accept nails and screws without splitting. Frequently, poplar is finished to look like other woods. It takes paint very well, but stains usually produce blemished results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Poplar lumber does have some flaws. Although it is very easy to work with, it is very weak when it comes to durability. Poplar has low shock resistance and bending strength. It is a very soft hardwood that has a janka hardness of 300, which is almost 30 times weaker than Ipe wood. Another flaw is low density. Poplar wood has raised grains that sometimes leave a fuzzy woolly texture to its surfaces and edges. Make sure to use very sharp cutters to produce a good finish. Also, poplar lumber is susceptible to insect attack and decay. I would stay away from using poplar in exterior projects, like decking and siding. Instead, use a harder wood that can withstand the harshness of outdoor living.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"4\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\" border=\"1\" width=\"80%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiriodendron tulipifera\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003eEastern United States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eJanka Hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e540 lb\u003csub\u003ef\u003c\/sub\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eAverage Dried Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003e29 lbs\/ft\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\" width=\"204\"\u003eWorkability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"\u003ePoplar is very easy to work, although it can sometimes leave fuzzy surfaces and edges.

It grows up to 180 ft. tall, with a domed or flat crown, and a trunk typically clear of branches for much of its height, buttressed at the base. The leaves are around 1\" long and 1\/4\" broad, and are deciduous in the dry season (November to February). The flowers are produced at the end of the dry season just before the new leaves; they are small and whitish, growing in loose spikes around 1\" long. The fruit is a samara with two wings. Contrary to popular belief, it is not rare and expensive due to overharvesting and there is plenty of supply due to efforts in the 1950s to preserve natural supply of the wood. This species is reported to be relatively secure, with little or no threat to its population within its natural growth range, according to the World Conservation Monitoring Center in 1992. The most famous example of its use in guitars is when it was used by Gibson in producing their now highly sought-after Flying V and Explorer guitars in 1958.

It is a good wood for turning and is sliced for paneling and veneers for furniture and cabinets.

On the quartersawn surface, fine pencil-thin, light tan lines interspersed with blackish brown stripes make the surface appear as if it has been stroked by the fine claws of some wild jungle animal. On the tangential surface, the light lines show up as undulating streaks, like waves on the water. Orientation of the grain is an important consideration to show the wood at its best.

Sharp tools are essential. The long coarse texture can tend to tearout and cause some difficulty in sanding. The wood will glue well if the gluing is done as soon as the surface is dressed by planing, sanding or scraping. Workers can be adversely affected by the irritating dust of wenge.

Its unusual reaction to friction set up by moving contact with other wood which causes it to wear slick and makes it ideal for drawer construction, guides, fences, and other jig and fixture work used in woodworking, as well as for bushings and loose pulleys.

The wood of magnolia is moderately heavy (32lbs.\/cu.ft.), moderately low in shrinkage, moderately low in bending and compressive strength, moderately hard and stiff, and moderately high in shock resistance. It has been estimated that there are about 20 species of Magnolia in the world, principally in the United States and Asia, with about 7 species native to the United States. As a commercial wood Magnolia includes Cucumber, Evergreen and Sweet Magnolias although most commercial Magnolia lumber is made from Evergreen lumber. The principal stand of Magnolia timber is in the South, and is most abundant in eastern Tennessee, the Carolinas and the Gulf coast region. From an estimated stand of over one billion feet of timber, about 40 million board feet of lumber is produced annually on a commercial basis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Cucumber Magnolia is sometimes sold as \"Cucumber\" lumber and considerable Cucumber and some Evergreen Magnolia is sold as yellow Poplar in the lower grades although this practice is not quite so prevalent since it was discovered that Magnolia was an excellent wood for certain special uses. Magnolia is very closely related to Yellow Poplar and has many of its characteristics although it is harder and heavier. As a matter of fact, microscopic examination is often required for the positive separation of Yellow Poplar and Magnolia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   The sapwood of Magnolia ranges from a creamy white to a light yellowish brown to present an attractive blonde color. The heartwood is light to dark brown or purplish black, sometimes tinged with yellow or green. While the lighter sapwood lumber is generally preferred for most purposes, some mills produce a selected black heart lumber for paneling which lends itself to striking panel effects. The color in the lower grades is usually a greenish yellow with an occasional burl or dark streak. While Magnolia is definitely not one of the leading veneer woods, veneer is produced from the white wood of Magnolia logs and is sometimes marketed under the trade name \"Ailon.\" Magnolia veneer generally has mild grain markings and is usually produced by quarter slicing in figured and plain grades. While it is not as hard as some other veneer woods, it sands to a distinctive silky polished finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Magnolia is one of the diffuse-porous woods and its grain is usually straight but more conspicuous than Poplar. Its annual growth rings are generally distinct with a thin whitish line at the beginning and end of each year's growth. The wood is of compact structure and its hardness is medium hard, similar to that of Black Walnut or Tupelo. Magnolia's strength properties are somewhat over average and it ranks close to the top as a bending wood. It is moderately low in shrinkage, moderately stiff and moderately weak in compression. Although it does not possess good decay resistance, Magnolia ranks high in shock resistance and has better than average stability. Magnolia machines very well in all operations with the exception of shaping and mortising. It can often be planed to a degree of smoothness that requires little or no sanding and works easily and with good sharp detail at the moulder and turning lathes. Its general favorable working properties serve to bring Magnolia to the attention of woodworking plants during the early days of lumber shortages. From a wood that was totally unknown to many industries, Magnolia is now used in large quantities by the industry and has become a favorite wood for certain special uses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Magnolia lends itself readily to practically any type of commercial finish. Where it was formerly finished chiefly in paint or enamel finishes, Magnolia is now much used in the popular natural and bleached blonde finishes. It sands and polishes to a satiny luster and since it does not require filling for any type of finish, it is a most economical wood to finish. Although Magnolia's figure is usually mild, selected lumber is available to enable the production of striking natural finish effects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   It has been estimated that about two-thirds of all the Magnolia lumber used in manufacturing wood products now goes into furniture. While furniture manufacturers were very slow to appreciate the superior steam bending qualities of Magnolia, its use for bentwood products, chair and frame parts is increasing annually. Furniture plants have also found Magnolia well suited for furniture frames and are currently using it in solid furniture to be finished in the popular blonde and pickled finishes. Magnolia has always been quite popular for painted and enameled breakfast and kitchen furniture. It is also reported to make a very good imitation satinwood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Probably one of the most exacting, extensive and popular uses for Magnolia is found in the manufacture of venetian blinds. Venetian blind manufacturers found Magnolia to be admirably suited for their use, particularly for blind slats, and take full advantage of its fine, uniform texture, sufficient hardness, and inherent property of remaining flat without warping.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Next to furniture use, the most popular usage of Magnolia is found in the manufacture of planing-mill and mill-work products. It is said that about 50% of all the Cucumber Magnolia cut goes into millwork as well as the large quantity of Evergreen Magnolia. Magnolia's workability and paintholding properties have made it extremely popular for interior finish, siding, interior trim, moulding, doors and paneling. It is even used for car sheathing. Store fixture concerns make good use of Magnolia, using it all the way from store fronts to cabinets and counters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   The superior nailholding properties of Magnolia, as well as its natural resistance to splitting, has made it a favored wood for boxes and crates. The fact that it has no tendency to impart either taste or odor has also led to its use for egg cases, cheese boxes, pails, tubs and woodenware used in the shipment, storage and serving of food products. Other common uses for Magnolia include: agricultural implements, boats, broom and brush handles, cotton gins, excelsior, casket trim, kitchen and utility cabinets, mine timbers, sleds, toy wagons, hay racks and wagon boxes. Many other uses are being developed daily as the woodworking industry becomes aware of the versatility and favorable properties of Magnolia as applied to its products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Natives of the Allegheny region like to tell that the early settlers of that region used to collect the cone-like fruits of the Magnolia tree and steeped them in whiskey to make a medicine to ward off an autumnal fever which was common to that section. Some even continue to make this bitter medicine which is quite difficult to take in spite of the whiskey contained.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"80%\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"204\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnolia grandiflora\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"204\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003eSoutheastern United States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"204\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003eJanka Hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003e1020 lb\u003csub\u003ef\u003c\/sub\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"204\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003eAverage Dried Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003e35 lbs\/ft\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"204\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003eWorkability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"\u003eEasy to work with both machine and hand tools.
