Review on 42X84 Rustic Hardwood Barn Door Slab - Unfinished Knotty Alder Solid Wood by Rob Marsh

Awesome product and the wood is beautiful. Very pleased ! This is knotty/rustic alder wood and it's expensive in the lumber yards, IF you can even find it. Menards in my area has a very small selection of it and it wasn't cheap. They definitely didn't have enough to do a whole door with. Lowes had none. I needed a 56" door so I bought two 28" doors and mended them together. Assembly was pretty simple except for the overlay/diagonal boards. They were just a little too long but a simple cut with the miter saw and that issue was fixed. I sanded all of the boards down and the stain took very well as you can see in the photo. I put the stain on and immediately wiped the excess off. If you're not looking for wood with cuts, knots, cracks, gouges, etc in it then don't buy this. That is the look we wanted so these were perfect for us. All of the boards were straight with no warping. Would recommend for sure.
