Characteristic values determined from wood samples with a moisture content of 12%.
The Pine Tree (Pinus sylvestris) is a modest tree with a great will to survive.
The unique, aromatic smell of pine forests and freshly-felled pine trees is a distinguishing characteristic.
The wood has a warm, reddish colour and is used mainly as construction timber, for veneers and to make furniture.
