"Weed" in the sense that after a mixed forest (usually fir, WR cedar, maple, and alder around here) is clear cut, alder is the species that will grow back quickly and dominate the stand, if left to nature. Even when now-mandated replanting of Douglas fir is done after a clear cut, alder will outcompete fir, especially in the wetter areas, and you will end up with a mixed stand, unless you cut out the alder a time or two in the early years.
Alder for pulp was barely worth hauling out of the woods in those days, so loggers would usually let firewood cutters come in for free after the fir was hauled out (firewood wasn't worth much, either). Now, alder is decked separately, bigger stuff sold for saw logs, smaller stuff for pulp, and then commercial firewood cutters bid on the salvage of what's left.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
