Alder Wood

Posted by OWD in wood doors , custom wood doors , Alder Wood , alder tree

The common name alder is derived from an old Germanic root, also found to be the translation of the Old French "verne" for alder or copse of alders. The botanic name Alnus is the equivalent Latin name. Both the Latin and the Germanic words derive from the Proto-Indo-European root el-, meaning "red" or "brown", which is also a root for the English words elk and another tree: elm, a tree distantly related to the alders. In Celtic mythology, Bran the Blessed is associated with the alder tree "The Alder deity is considered to be Bran the Blessed, god of the Underworld. He was also known as the god of Prophecy, Arts, War and Writing. With the size of a giant, it was impossible for Bran to fit in a house or in a boat.

Alder coat of arms of Grossarl, Austria.

Alder catkins are edible and high in protein. Although they are reported to have a bitter and unpleasant taste, they are best remembered for survival purposes. Alder wood is also commonly used to smoke various food items.

Alder bark contains the anti-inflammatory salicin which is metabolized into salicylic acid in the body.[2] Native Americans used Red Alder bark (Alnus rubra) to treat poison oak, insect bites, and skin irritations. Blackfeet Indians used an infusion made from the bark of Red Alder to treat lymphatic disorders and tuberculosis. Recent clinical studies have verified that red alder contains betulin and lupeol, compounds shown to be effective against a variety of tumors.[3]

Alder is illustrated in the coat of arms for the Austrian town of Grossarl.

Electric guitars, most notably the Fender Stratocaster and Fender Telecaster have been built with alder bodies since the 1950's. Alder is appreciated for its bright tone, and has been adopted by many electric guitar manufacturers.

We make the custom door ordering process for you as simple as it should be.  If you are building or remodeling a home simply have your builder, contractor, architect or interior designer, forward drawings, door and trim schedule in a PDF file via email to info@oldworlddesignllc.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or mail to 1079 Bacon Ave. Sarasota, FL. 34232.

Once Old World Design has received the plans we will then begin the bidding, estimating process. If a design has not been selected Old World Design can help find a style for your home. Old World Design works with all species such as Cypress, Alder, Sapele, Mahogany, Cherry, Maple, Oak, and Walnut ect. Also all of the hardware must be selected in advance in order for us to begin production. Once the design is finalized, we then prepare an engineered elevation to assure that the designed door will meet or exceed the state Building Codes for a one-of-a-kind entry door. The entire process generally takes between 2-3 weeks to complete. This will allow you to view your newly designed door in detail so you can fully understand exactly what your door will look like before it is manufactured. Drawings will be sent to the contractor, builder, or interior designer for final approval.
Upon your acceptance, a deposit is required to start the project. Then we will begin production. Old World Design provides both antique rustic as well as traditional fine finish stain or paint grade doors and trim. We will then need to determine the finish, distressing level if there is any at all - light, medium, or heavy?  Finish - Flat, Simi-gloss, or Glossy? Color? Samples will be sent, one to the contractor, builder, or interior designer, for their files and the other to be signed and returned to Old World Design LLC.
Once the doors have been manufactured and a sample has been signed and returned we then can begin the finishing stage. Once finishing stage has been completed, a delivery date will be arranged for installation. With our in-place infrastructure we provide efficient, accurate, timely production. Our doors can be delivered pre-hung or knocked down, prepped for hardware, protected like fine furniture, directly to you. The remaining balance will be due upon completion of the job. The time required to produce the design, engineering, manufacturing, finishing is approximately 6-8 weeks.
We manufacture all types of custom cabinetry, stain and paint grade mouldings, in both radius and straight. Old World Design offers a total trim package. So if you’re looking to replace your existing entry door, cabinetry, or trim throughout your entire home with new doors, cabinetry, and moulding, for more questions or to place your order please contact Old World Design today!
