Picea abies
Medium sizes softwood imported from northern Europe. The sapwood is white to pale yellow with a straight grain and has small tight knots in its appearance. Baltic Pine was used extensively in Australia in the early 1900’s and those floors are now showing a considerable amount of Anobium borer holes in the sapwood today. A very soft choice for timber flooring and usually only sold for making repairs or to match existing floors.
