    Default Knotty Alder - French Polish

    I would like to approximate a French Polish Pine finish on a project to include a mantel & fireplace breast and flanking cabinetry. I plan to use knotty alder in lieu of pine. I don't need to be authentic, but I like the aged golden amber look of the French finish. Has anyone done this on alder? Do you have any ideas or advice.

    Thanks

    Hi ACD,
    This being a mostly Downunder forum, there ain't much alder being used.
    Good luck
    Cheers, Ern
