SITKA SPRUCE (Picea sitchensis)
High grade Sitka spruce is popular for specialty marine applications such as masts, spars and deck beams, ladder stock and industrial equipment where high strength to weight ratio is desired. Clear grades are used in fine interior finishing such as sliding screens, mouldings, joinery and trim. The top clear grade wood is used for piano and guitar sound boards. Kiln drying inhibits natural staining of the wood, improves the strength and stiffness, enhances its appearance, and increases its resistance to decay and insect attack.
