Metsä spruce sawn timber

Spruce (Picea abies) is one of the most abundant species in Finnish forests, It is also known as European whitewood as an attribute to its light colour of the heartwood and sapwood when cut. Metsä spruce sawn timber provides a beautiful, consistent look for interior decoration solutions. Our spruce sawn timber is particularly well-suited for interior and exterior paneling, furniture, construction, woodworking products, glulam production and concrete casting moulds.

The key properties of our spruce sawn timber are

  • an even colour from the heartwood to the sapwood

The spruce sawn timber is produced at our Renko and Vilppula sawmills in Finland, with a total average capacity of 855 000 cubic meters. All of our products are made from wood that comes from sustainably managed forests.
