Alder Wood Plugs
These Alder wood plugs are handcrafted in small batches in Portland, Oregon. A Pacific Northwest staple for cabinet making, furniture, and interior millwork — Alder has a fine, even grain with light pinkish-tan tones that take stain exceptionally well, making it easy to match a wide range of finished projects.
These are face grain plugs, cut so the grain runs across the top of the plug just like the surrounding wood, giving you a seamless match when stained or finished.
Packs in stock ship within 1–2 business days from Portland, Oregon. Made-to-order packs ship within the lead time shown before you buy.

Plugs are designed for a snug flush fit and sized to create a tight secure installation.
Ideal For:
Cabinet making and furniture
Interior millwork and trim
Painted and stained projects
Doors and paneling
DIY woodworking projects
What to Expect:
Plugs may have a slight variance in length but will always be the correct width. For the most accurate fit, use a countersink bit or Forstner bit to create your holes. Please verify hole dimensions prior to ordering.
I hand-select every board I mill from — you're getting clean, consistent plugs with well-defined grain, not the mixed quality you find in bulk industrial orders.
