What is Spruce Wood?
Spruce is a lightweight, stable, rot-resistant, and affordable softwood. Lumber is a versatile and convenient building material for many purposes. Due to its lightweight and low hardness, It is easy to work with tools.
Spruce’s density and hardness are comparable to pine wood, So it can also be considered an alternative to pine. Pine and spruce are more prone to dents and scratches as compared to any hardwood.
Spruce is a coniferous evergreen tree in the family Pinaceae. A mature tree can grow very tall. The growth rate of a spruce tree is 8 inches to 12 inches per year. Sitka spruce is the tallest species of spruce that can reach 250 to 300 feet in height.
