4/4 SPF 6’ Alder – 3 Truckloads/containers available for prompt shipment

“6’ SPF is the best grade for the money we currently have on the ground. Since Premium is 7’ and longer, this 6‘ knotty alder grade will have mostly high-end sound tight knots. It’s a perfect grade for shorter applications at a much lower price point than 8 &10’ Premium. The grade does contain Rustic and high-end Frame, but is very minimal. Still the best knotty grade for the price.”

4/4 S1F (Superior 1 Face) Alder – 5 truckloads/containers prompt

“There are so many single-face applications where our S1F works, and the price is a fraction of 10’ SUP. Distributors should stock this and offer it regularly to their SUP customers as a high-value alternative. We are also selling to companies slicing it for the full range of grades of face veneers. I also want it out of our warehouses and out of my way.”

4/4 CB4 Alder – 5 loads prompt

“Just like we sort our Superior and Premium grades at our Port Angeles mill, we also sort a CAB 4” product we call CB4. This product is predominantly 2’ and longer two-faced cuttings, with a small percentage having a one-face cutting and sound back.  Because it is 3-3/4” to 5” wide, it takes a lot of clear material for it to get the 66-2/3% clear that is required to make grade. It sells for a fraction of the price of SUP yet will have high yields that sharply lower parts costs in cabinet doors and furniture. If you’re cutting up Alder and looking for profitable alternatives, run some packs of CB4 and compare final costs. You might be surprised.”
