Spruce has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is extremely resilient. It also possesses high acoustic properties making it ideal to the manufacture of musical instruments such as piano sounding boards and guitars.
Our suppliers' diverse spruce sorting allow various markets to access products designed to yield specific lumber products manufactured for different uses. Each sort has specifications designed to meet certain requirements for optimal lumber output. This is why the log graders emphasize quality control as an essential component for producing products of high quality standards.
We can supply 15 different sorts of Spruce. Each sort has its own set of criteria, definitions, and sample pictures to illustrate each product. The pictures above show the quality and grading of the types of logs we offer - from the highest to the lowest grade as shown in the pictures; extreme left being highest grade and the 4th picture (extreme right) being of lowest grade.
The lowest grade log is used for pulp and chip production.
