The Knotty doors you see on Krosswood are actually made from Knotty Alder rather than knotty pine. Why use a different wood? Well, Knotty Alder is a fast growing hardwood versus a softwood. This makes for a very environmentally friendly, American grown wood source and a much sturdier door. The hardwood can withstand more wear and tear than the softer wood.

Knotty vs Smooth

Knotty wood has long been prized by craftsman for its beauty and individuality. With natural occurring knots in the wood, there are never two doors that are exactly alike. For a high-quality, rustic, Americana, Craftsman, or Southwestern look on your home you couldn’t find a more appropriate door for your home.

Stain or Paint

Because of the beautiful knots and naturally dark tone of the Knotty Alder doors they are perfect for taking almost any color of stain you want to apply to match your home’s color scheme. In addition to the natural beauty, Knotty Alder also sands down to a beautifully fine finish which can be painted as well.
