Alder Superior 6

Superior 6

SP6

SP6 is a 83.3% Clear One Face product with a minimum CB6 or better back.

SP6 is sorted from our random-width Superior (SUP) grade to a targeted width of 6.0” to 7.0” (+/- 1/8”). It is a high-yield, middle-of-range Superior product. It’s well-suited for 5” moulding applications in base and crowns. Cabinet manufacturers like SP6, as 100% can easily be ripped to two pieces of standard door rail and face frame stock @ roughly 2-5/8”. If component manufacturers are after roughly 5” wide components, it is ideal. It works well where wider boards in Superior are desired.

Exception:

10′ (3.05m) or 12′ (3.66m) boards that would then yield 95% Clear One Face, would allow a 24″ (610mm) or longer Clear Two Face, full width cutting at either and of the board.

Notes:

SUP admits all boards of 24″ (610mm) and over surface measure, yielding no less than 83.3% Clear One Face cutting. The reverse side of the board will grade Cabinet.

WANE is limited to 8.3% of the surface measure of the board on the graded face. The reverse side of the board the aggregate amount of WANE will not exceed 25% of the width by 75% of the length, or 33% of the width by 50% of the length. WANE may be divided, and showing on both board edges.

The aggregate inches of PITH length will not exceed 2x the surface feet of the board.

The aggregate inches of SPLIT length will not exceed two times the surface feet of the board. SPLITs diverging more than 1″ (25mm) per foot, in length, are not admitted, except when 12″ (305mm) or shorter, and within one lineal foot from the end of the board; leaving at least 50% clear wood, and not less than 25% sound wood in aggregate.

SIDE BEND is limited to 5/8″ (15mm). PIN KNOTs are not considered a defect.
