Products -> Species -> Sitka Spruce ->

Sitka Spruce, like Yellow Cedar, is an exceptional wood renowned for its beauty and outstanding characteristics. This is the largest of all commercially harvested spruces, and WFP can supply some of the finest Sitka Spruce in the world. Due to its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio and shock-absorbing qualities, it’s used in a wide range of applications from aircraft construction to masts and spars for boats as well as other construction.

Its excellent working properties, machinability, acoustic properties, straight grain and soft texture make it valued for end uses such as musical instruments, panelling, sauna components, Japanese shoji screens and other joinery applications. It is worked easily with hand or machine tools, plus it takes and holds nails and screws without splitting.
