SITKA SPRUCE

Well known as being one of the tallest trees on earth, sitka spruce, like douglas fir, is known for its very long straight grain.

In the right log it’s possible to get up to 80 foot long clear timbers and boards.

Sitka spruce is legendary for its’ incredible flexibility and strength to weight ratio.

These qualities combined with it its’ ability to handle tremendous torque made it the obvious choice material to build the famous wartime mosquito fighter plane with. This also clearly explains why it is avidly sought after for mast building as well as for being the world famous Spruce Goose.

Sitka spruce is so special, that it is also recognized as one of the finest tone woods in the world. It does not matter whether a luthier is making a sound board for a guitar, violin, cello & bass their first choice is always Sitka Spruce.

Hence it makes sense then why Sitka Spruce is also well recognized by tradesmen as a great wood construction lumber, timber framing and log home construction.

Some other properties that Sitka spruce has that gives it such a great reputation is it is very workable, possesses excellent nail-holding properties and accepts glues and stain very well.
