What is Finnish pine? Do you know?

I believe that many wood lovers will often see a kind of wood called Finnish pine when visiting the wood market. From the literal meaning, I believe everyone can guess that Finnish pine is a kind of pine wood produced in Finland, but what kind of pine wood is Finnish pine?

Today, I will talk to you about Finnish pine.

Finnish pine is a plantation pine produced in Finland. The main pine wood species are red pine, spruce, etc.

In other words, Finnish pine does not refer to a specific type of pine wood, but is a general term for several pine woods mixed together. Because it is produced in Finland, it is collectively called Finnish pine.

It is understood that Finland has a very cold climate and the growth cycle of pine is relatively long, with only one hundred days a year, and the growth process is slow.

However, precisely because Finnish pine grows slowly, its material quality is very good and there are fewer problems with moisture balance. The tight arrangement of the gaps between its wood rings makes the wood size and specifications stable, and it has small knots, is easy to degrease, and has good wood stability, making it a high-quality wood for furniture products.

Characteristics of Finnish pine

1. Fine and straight texture, stable material properties, not easy to deform or crack, strong resistance to decay;

2. Easy to plane. The surface after planing is smooth and bright, can absorb paint and colorant well, and is easy to bond;

3. The soft color, fine texture and natural grain of Finnish pine are naturally integrated into furniture design, showing a simple and primitive beauty;

4. Finnish pine has many advantages and is widely used

Advantages of Finnish pine

1. Finnish pine belongs to the coniferous forest species, and its forest coverage rate is very high, so Finnish pine is basically not artificially pruned. After being made into furniture products, the branches and knots retain the original natural production traces, which can reflect the true beauty of Finnish pine material.

2. Finnish pine has natural color and texture. The furniture made from it also has simple shapes and smooth lines, which can well reflect the high-quality texture of the furniture products.

In addition, Finnish pine has well preserved the color of the wood itself, highlighting the original and simple temperament of the furniture. The bright color can add a natural and primitive atmosphere to the home environment.

Disadvantages of Finnish pine

Finnish pine wood is relatively soft and prone to cracking and deformation. If it is too wet or too dry, it may cause the furniture products to deform and crack. Therefore, if you purchase Finnish pine furniture products, you must pay attention to its future maintenance.
