Hello,

I'm building my son his first Big Boy bed... His furniture is pine and im having a hard time finding clear pine posts in the size i need to match. Im trying to avoid laminating. Would alder be a good substitute? If i use alder and pine together on the same bed will stain similer or will they look like completely different woods? im using a nutmeg color stain.

Thanks
Steve
