Swedish Pine Wood IV
Heartwood is light reddish brown, demarcated sapwood is pale yellow to
nearly white.
Overview
Scots Pine has an enormous distribution, spanning from Portugal in the
west out to eastern Siberia. Consequently, there’s also a great amount of
natural variability in terms of density, strength, and appearance because
of the wide range of growth conditions for the tree. Trees from colder
northern climates tend to produce denser, more finely-textured wood
because of their slower growth rates.
Main Uses
Utility poles, posts, boxes/crates, flooring, paper (pulpwood), and
construction lumber.
Working Properties
Scots Pine is easy to work with both hand and machine tools. Glues and
finishes well.
