I milled up a few Alder logs last winter and now have them dry enough to use, air dried not kiln. Anyone got any comments on the use of this timber? My experiences so far are that it dries well, easy to plane and thickness although some faces go a bit fluffy but this sands out well. It's pretty soft. I'd like to know a bit about colouring it as it's pretty bland. Never had any real experience of staining wood but I think this stuff will need it. Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips.
