Hello, fellow translators!
I am translating an English commercial ad, which is selling furnitures made out of hardwoods. The tag line of this ad is "Alder, Naturally". Underneath it I see the picture of some furnitures made out of Alder wood.
Please share your wisdom with me!

赤扬木，自然天成
Ad translation, to some degree, is creative or a process of creativity. Different artist views different picture. For me, it goes like the answer here.

我认为这广告主要是针对人工做的化纤板,合成板料, 碎木压制/轧制的板料 或由人工栽种 培植的树木取料. "natually" 是强调这些家俱,所用的赤杨生长于大自然,家俱用的木料是取自于大自然, 可说:
"真正的赤杨, 大自然中生长成材!"
"赤杨木料, 大自然的产物"
"赤杨, 大自然中生长成材"
"真正的赤杨木, 大自然的献礼!"
"真正的赤杨木, 大自然的礼物!"

赤扬，渾然天成
just a suggestion after all, I think as a commercial ad, the above may sound more impressive, the only worry is that according to Xiaoping's description, this sort of wood is in a lower category, if it is so, the above suggestion may not reflect the true value of it :-))
Something went wrong...
