Alder has mostly straight grains and is uniformly textured. Light brown in color with reddish-brown tinges. It takes stain well and due to its smooth grain it also takes paint well. The 'knotty' variety has knots and some streaking, giving a rustic look. Alder is a fine wood that is only recommended for staining.

1/4 sawn White Oak has most of the same characteristics as plain sawn White Oak but is cut in a different way, perpendicular to the growth rings. This cutting gives it distinct grain patterns, looking like medullary rays or flecks. It is not recommended for painting due to its coarse grain.

Rift sawn White Oak is cut in an angular way from the log and is known for its linear appearance, which allows for a modern look and feel. Similar to its White Oak counterparts, there are coarse grains present and painting is not recommended.
