Superior alder also known as select alder or clear alder, is a high-grade hardwood that produces a clearer stock than its close relative knotty alder. Alder, part of the birch family, is a softer hardwood from the Pacific Northwest.

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 a value price.

Regarded as excellent in resistance to both decay and insect attack, aromatic red cedar is frequently used for fence posts used in direct ground contact with no pre-treating of the wood.

Overall, aromatic red cedar is easy to work, notwithstanding any knots or irregularities present in the wood. It reportedly has a high silica content, which can dull cutters. Aromatic red cedar glues and finishes well, though in many applications, the wood is left unfinished to preserve its aromatic properties.

Cedar has a distinct and tell-tale scent: the wood is commonly used in closets and chests to repel moths and other insects. Though eastern red cedar trees are widely distributed throughout the eastern half of the United States, it is a very slow-growing species, and most trees harvested tend to be fairly small in diameter. Because of this, aromatic red cedar boards tend to be knotty and narrow.

Despite its name, Spanish cedar is not only a hardwood (and therefore not a Cedar), it is also not Spanish. Spanish cedar actually comes from the meliaceae family, along with mahogany. Spanish cedar is similar to genuine mahogany in its beautiful coloration, attractive grain pattern and great workability.

Spanish cedar grain is usually quite straight and works well with both hand and power tools. Spanish cedar is also known as "cigar-box cedar", as this was one of its traditional uses. The wood’s natural aroma repels insects, and the high resin count makes it very weather and rot resistant. Due to its low density, the lumber is quite lightweight, which makes this wood highly sought after as a high quality exterior grade species.
