Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest used red alder bark to treat rashes and insect bites, and Lewis and Clark carved their names in a red alder to mark their arrival at Cape Disappointment overlooking the mouth of the Columbia River. The tree was considered a nuisance for many decades but now is highly valued as a fast-growing, sustainable hardwood. Our red alder bar board, fashioned from wood left over from an Oregon furniture shop, is perfect for slicing lime wedges or to serve tasty hors d'oeuvres. Discover the beauty of red alder for yourself.
