Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis)
Ranges from cream/white to yellow; heartwood can also exhibit a subtle pinkish red hue in some instances. Sapwood is not clearly demarcated from heartwood.
Easy to work, as long as there are no knots present. Glues and finishes well, though it can give poor (blotchy and inconsistent) results when being stained due to its closed pore structure. A sanding sealer, gel stain, or toner is recommended when colouring Spruce. Sitka Spruce has an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio.
