Alder Entertainment Center

Nice job on that. Natural Alder looks better than I thought it would.

Wow John, nice job, buddy!

Real nice John I am making some bookcases out of the Alder I got, hope mine comes out to look half as nice as yours.

How did you get the cove molding to the top radius? Nice job.

I like it, a friend has a kitchen he made out of Alder & I really like the look of this wood. Great work!

Looks great from the side view, great built-in. Do you have some photos looking straight on the entertainment center?

Wow! Nice entertainment center. The alder looks great.

Definitely a lot of Wow factor!

As always John beautiful craftsmanship.

This is a wonderful entertainment center

Reeks of good design and craftsmanship John. Of all the entertainment centers I've seen, I like yours the best and I mean that. I'm also very partial to Alder which I feel is a much underused in woodworking today. Maybe it doesn't lend itself to commercial harvesting and processing. I haven't personally made any furniture out of it, but it is wonderful to carve, and has a beautiful coloration. Here in Norway there are two varieties, Gray and Black Alder or 'Or' as we call it. I haven't a clue what they different varieties are called in the States. I'm just in checking out your bent lamination work in the hope of getting some inspiration. I'm not intending to copy anything though.

We have whats called Red Alder. It resembles Cherry in grain pattern and somewhat in color.

Great entertainment centre !! I like the coulor of that wood
