European Alder flat cut wood veneer typically has a light color with subtle variations in tone, ranging from creamy white to pale yellow, or light brown. Its grain pattern is often straight and fine; straighter trees will produce more figure. The texture of European Alder veneer is generally smooth and even, lending itself well to a variety of finishes—from natural to stained or even painted.
