Clocks in Alder - Alder Wood Watches

The wood of the alder is elastic and strong at the same time, which is why it is well suited for the production of watches. The surface of the alder is also easy to work with. In furniture and watch production, alder is not only popular because of its good workmanship, but also often used as an imitation of precious wood. But also the yellow-reddish tone of the alder itself, makes wall clocks or table clocks look modern and decorative. A beautiful alder wall clock can be found at Uhren4you.de

Alder - decorative lightness

Alder can be found in almost all of Europe. In particular, the Hoz of the black alder is used for further processing. Machining with saws, milling machines, planes and the like is child's play. In addition, alder wood can be stained, polished and varnished without any problems. The wood itself is reddish-yellow to reddish in color. Darkening can be prevented by the use of UV absorbers.

Alder trees grow very close to the water. Thus, they are well suited for underwater construction and, in the form of posts, became supports of large parts of Venice, the city of love. The color of love is red, as is the wood of the alder after such a tree has been felled. And so it used to be said that alders were inhabited by animated beings, such as elves or alder women.

was also believed that alders could keep away evil spirits, curses and the like, so alder branches were hung up for a long time. These were intended to protect the house and its occupants with the help of their cleansing effect.

The bark and inflorescences of the alder are often used for tanning. In the past, ink was made from alder cones. Furthermore, the bark of the alder, together with iron parts, was stored in water for weeks in order to dye leather black with the resulting substance.
