About the wood and profile
Alder is a smooth, fine-grained hardwood with a warm honey to reddish tone. It is low in resin, comfortable to sit on and a long-time favorite in Finnish saunas.
S4SEE means smooth on four sides with eased (rounded) edges, so it is ready for benches and backrests with no sanding.
Planning a bench
- Leave about 3/8″ between boards so water drains and air moves.
- A 20″ deep bench takes about 5 boards across at 3.54″ wide.
- Support bench boards about every 24″ with framing underneath.
- Hide fasteners from below so no hot metal touches skin.

How shipping works
All the sauna wood in your order ships together by freight, and you pay one freight charge for the whole order, not per board: 15% of your sauna wood total, with a $149 minimum and a $795 maximum. Freight is free once your sauna wood reaches $6,000. It is worked out for you at checkout.
| Your sauna wood total | Freight (lower 48) |
|---|---|
| $500 of sauna wood | $149 freight |
| $1,500 of sauna wood | $225 freight |
| $3,000 of sauna wood | $450 freight |
| $5,000 of sauna wood | $750 freight |
| $6,000 or more | Free freight |
1 ft sample pieces ship by parcel, so you can see the color and profile before you order a full room. Freight is delivered curbside; long boards are unloaded by hand, so plan for a helper. Alaska and Hawaii ship at a higher freight rate. Call us for lead time.
